Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Pops Up on ESRB Website

A listing for the unannounced Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 has appeared online.

The website for the Entertainment Software Rating Board has a listing for Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, which is set for release on Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. Its publisher is listed as Daybreak Game Company LLC, which owns Cold Iron Studios, developer of the first game. As you’d expect, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is rated M for Mature 17+ by the ESRB, with “Blood and Gore, Strong Language, and Violence.”

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a cooperative third-person survival shooter which drops players into the role of a Colonial Marine aboard the USS Endeavor, recently tasked with answering a distress call from the outer colonies. It was well-received upon its 2021 launch, earning a 7/10 from IGN’s review. We said: “There’s plenty of wild shootouts with swarms of xenomorphs in Aliens: Fireteam Elite, but some awkward pacing and repetitive level design prevents it from being a classic.”

Aliens: Fireteam Elite recently hit Xbox Game Pass, expanding its audience. It was a well-timed addition, with the critically acclaimed Alien: Earth TV show set to hit FX and Hulu at the time. This sequel, while so far unannounced, looks like a sure thing.
