Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Releases This Summer; Game Features and More Fire Out
Remember Aliens: Fireteam Elite? The 2021 cross-gen co-op shooter that received a ton of support from Cold Iron Studios? There’s a sequel on the way, and it’s due for release this year.
The aptly titled Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is being developed by Cold Iron Studios once again, but this time, it’s just for current-gen platforms and PC.
While publisher Daybreak Games has yet to provide a definite release date, it does confirm the game is due for release sometime this summer.
Excited? We have the first official gameplay, as well as the game’s key features.
Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Looks to Improve on the Original in Every Way
GAME OVERVIEW
Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 drops up to four players into the boots of Colonial Marines deployed to the most
hostile corners of the Aliens universe. This is not a rescue mission – it’s a fight for survival. Xenomorphs
stalk the corridors, ambush from the shadows, and swarm in overwhelming numbers. Every room could
be your last.
Coordinate with your fireteam, leverage each class’s unique abilities, and adapt on the fly as encounters
escalate from tense standoffs to all-out war. With deeper squad mechanics, smarter enemies, and a fully
customizable Specialist class, AFE2 delivers the definitive co-op Aliens experience.
KEY FEATURES
4-Player Co-Op Squad Combat
Expanding from three to four players, AFE2 introduces deeper team-based mechanics that reward
coordination and strategic class composition. New and improved classes each bring distinct playstyles
and tactical abilities to the fight, making every squad combination feel different.
Xenomorphs That Overwhelm You
The iconic xenomorphs are more ferocious than ever before. AFE2’s massive variety of new xenomorphs
will force players to stay mobile, maintain situational awareness, and use every tool at their disposal.
From stun batons for up close melee action in those most desperate moments, to pyro and electric ammo
to whittle down the unrelenting xenomorph front before they overrun you and your squad, the battle can
shift from calculated tension to desperate last stand in seconds.
The Specialist Class – Play Your Way
Beyond expanded weapon and gear customization, AFE2 introduces the Specialist – a fully customizable
class that lets players mix and match major and minor abilities from every available class. Build a loadout
tailored to your exact playstyle and fill whatever role your squad needs.
Horde Mode – Survive the Swarm
AFE2 launches with multiple dedicated Horde maps that push squads to their limits. Battle through
escalating waves of xenomorphs and other deadly enemies, earning increasingly valuable rewards as
you survive deeper into the onslaught. This is where teamwork and skill are tested at their absolute peak.
This is but the tip of the iceberg, as we should be hearing more about the shooter as we get nearer to release.
Expect Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 to be released sometime this summer on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
