Aliens: Fireteam Elite Could Be The Next Great Co-op Shooter

Aliens: Fireteam Elite Impressions

It’s been more than 6 years since the popular Alien: Isolation game was released and now the Alien franchise looks to add to its success with an upcoming title: Aliens: Fireteam Elite. We got a chance to play it a bit so if you’re curious what to expect or what to look forward to we’ve got you covered.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a cooperative third-person survival shooter where you have to survive waves of Xenomorphs and Weyland-Yutani Synthetic enemies. If you’re familiar with the franchise, you’ll be more than familiar with what’s in store. Here’s a little blurb from the official game website, “Face off against waves of terrifying Xenomorph and Weyland-Yutani Synthetic foes alongside two players or AI teammates, as you and your fireteam desperately fight your way through four unique campaigns that introduce new storylines to the Alien universe. Create and customize your own Colonial Marine, choosing from an extensive variety of classes, weapons, gear and perks, battling overwhelming odds in this heart-pounding survival shooter experience.” You can check out our impressions video below.

Here’s a snippet from our preview if you weren’t convinced to keep an eye out the game, “It definitely is more fun with humans than the serviceable AI, but in any configuration Aliens: Fireteam Elite does the franchise proud and any excuse to return to the Alien universe is worth looking into.”
