Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 released on major platforms

Sci-fi fans and gamers have reason to celebrate!

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2021 survival shooter, officially launches on August 25, 2026.

Developed by Cold Iron Studios, this intense cooperative experience is arriving on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version expected later this year.

Set in 2207, twenty-eight years after the classic Alien films, the story follows the crew of the USS Endeavor as they uncover mysteries on planet LV-558.

The sequel introduces several major upgrades, most notably the shift to four-player cooperative squads, allowing for deeper tactical gameplay.

Players can choose from five distinct marine classes, plus a flexible new 'Specialist' endgame class that lets them mix and match powerful abilities.

With improved, adaptive enemy AI, robust cross-platform play, and a dedicated Horde mode, the game promises a challenging experience for all.

Whether you are fighting through the campaign or surviving against waves of xenomorphs, the enhanced weapon customization and squad mechanics ensure that every mission feels fresh.

Prepare your squad—the hive is waiting for you this August.
