Going by a release schedule from Sega’s European branch, it appears Gearbox’s Aliens: Colonial Marines will be released within the next three months. The game was originally set for release late last year, but was delayed to sometime this year.

The game was rumored to be cancelled amidst layoffs at the company, but Gearbox head honcho Randy Pitchford quickly shot it down. Sega has remained unusually quiet on the highly anticipated squad-based shooter that goes back to the formula of classic AvP games.

Sega and Gearbox are yet to confirm the release date.

"I think you’ll see something this year,” he said. “But I don’t know when. [Laughs] We’re crafting plans right now.”

He also talked about the delays to Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway and the studio’s heavy development schedule.
