Set for a summer 2021 release, Aliens: Fireteam is a class-based survival shooter where teams of battle-hardened Marines face off against innumerable Xenomorph threats.

Fireteam takes place 23 years after Alien 3 as the crew of the USS Endeavor battles to contain the Xenomorph onslaught.

Cold Iron is pulling from the entire Xenomorph lifecycle for a total of 11 Alien foes, including Facehuggers and Praetorians, and there’s an additional nine enemy types outside the Xenomorphs.

Players team up with others to pick from one of five classes: Gunner, Doc, Recon, Demolisher, and Technician. Each class has a unique set of abilities and perks, and Aliens: Fireteam features more than 30 weapons and 70+ mods to further enhance each unit. A well-balanced team also needs good cooperation to survive, so teamwork is critical.
