Cold Iron Studios has confirmed the development of a new game while detailing future planned updates for Aliens Fireteam Elite.

Normally these types of posting formats would come with bad news (as with The Evil Dead: The Game), but today Cold Iron instead brought good news, confirming that Aliens Fireteam Elite is getting more updates that are centered around long-requested quality-of-life improvements, with the first dropping tomorrow.

“To everyone who has supported Cold Iron Studios, Aliens: Fireteam Elite, and all of the work we’ve put in, we wanted to first thank you. We have had a lot of things going on under the hood, and the continued dedication our fans have delivered has been invaluable. That said, we’ve got lots of great news to share!

First is that we are proud to announce Elena Siegman as our new Studio Head, leading production and development, and Kendall Deacon Davis, spearheading creative. We announced this on our company website and you can read more about it at coldironstudios.com.

Alongside the new leadership, Cold Iron will be adding some long-requested quality of life updates to Aliens: Fireteam Elite, with the first update coming tomorrow, October 24. We’re committed to providing these updates while we’re hard at work on our next major project. Future updates will include many of the community’s most prominent requests, such as fixes to matchmaking and improvements to everyone’s favorite Synths, Alpha and Beta.

In the meantime, we are in full development on a new title. Building on the success of Aliens: Fireteam Elite, Cold Iron is hard at work making a new experience for fans to sink their teeth into. More updates will be coming as development is further along.”

What comes as a big surprise, though, is that the team is in full development of a new title that is building off the success of Aliens Fireteam Elite. Mind you, this doesn’t mean that they are developing a sequel (but it could), just that all the experience and success they’ve had from the game is going into making this one. We can’t wait to see what the team has cooking, and we’re also glad to see that support for Aliens Fireteam Elite will continue on.
