Aliens: Colonial Marines is just a few weeks away from release and Gearbox Software is celebrating by announcing that the game has finally reached its Gold status. This means that the final code is locked and set for its February 12th release date.

Here’s a brand-new trailer, showcasing its single-player mode. If you didn’t know either, in addition to the multiplayer, the single-player will feature a drop in co-op feature, similar to that found in Borderlands.
