Aliens: Fireteam announced, will release on PC and consoles in 2021

Cold Iron Studios has been quietly working on a game based on the Alien IP for quite some time now. The game has been in the works for years now, having first been revealed in 2018. Since then, news has been quiet, but that changes today with the announcement of Aliens: Fireteam. 

Cold Iron Studios has announced Aliens: Fireteam, a third-person, squad-based survival shooter. It sounds a lot like Left 4 Dead with Xenomorphs on paper, but there are some other elements to it that set it apart.

Aliens: Fireteam will be a fully online game with RPG elements in the form of character classes, skill trees and modifiable weapons, opening the door for character build experimentation. There are five character classes so far – gunner, demolisher, technician, doc and recon, each with their own abilities.

Aliens: Fireteam is releasing in ‘Summer 2021' for PC (Steam), Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4 and PS5. Cold Iron Studios has also said that there will be no microtransactions in the game.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
