Aliens: Colonial Marines Detailed
Though the title was revealed through a magazine cover some time back, Sega has officially announced Aliens: Colonial Marines, a first-person shooter based on the popular franchise in development at Gearbox Software. It will be released on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 later this year.
In Aliens: Colonial Marines, players are part of a United States Colonial Marine squad and must prepare to face an alien assault more intense and horrific than ever before. Driven by a compelling and original story penned by renowned writers Bradley Thompson and David Weddle Aliens: Colonial Marines will retain the atmospheric look and feel of the original films while leveraging next-generation technology to create an entirely new interactive Aliens experience.
The game will feature the classic Aliens weaponry, ranging from pulse rifles to flamethrowers as well as brand-new equipment and skills all within a squad-based combat system. It will have a story driven single-player mode and an all-new four player co-op mode. There will also be other multiplayer modes, though details weren’t provided.
