Summary
August 25 is the release date for Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, arriving on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam and Epic for $50 standard or $70 premium, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version due this fall.
Four-player co-op is the headline gameplay change from the 2021 original, alongside solo play with three bots, deeper squad mechanics, a customizable specialist class and expanded weapon progression.
Cold Iron Studios and Daybreak frame the sequel as a larger extraction-style survival shooter set in the Alien universe, sending Colonial Marines into a darkened colony overrun by Xenomorphs, Synths and mini-boss encounters.
The 2021 game sold about 1 million copies, giving the sequel an established audience even as the preview describes it as a solid double-A follow-up rather than a graphics-heavy triple-A release.
