Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a third-person cooperative shooter set 23 years after the original Alien trilogy. How many years after Alien: Resurrection does it take place, I wonder? As far as I'm concerned, Alien 3 never happened. Whatever the case, the game follows a group of Colonial Marines who are stationed on a ship called the UAS Endeavor. Naturally, aliens get loose on the ship, and all hell breaks loose. The Colonial Marines will have to fight through over 20 enemy types, including 11 different types of Xenomorphs, as well as the Weyland-Yutani androids that so often turn on their human shipmates.

Slated for consoles and PC, players will choose a class of Colonial Marine and dive into Alien hives with two friends. Each class has specific abilities and customization options, including a host of different weapons to yield. The five classes—Gunner, Demolisher, Technician, Doc, and Recon—are then used to take on a series of repeatable campaigns with randomization applied each time.
