AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Cold Iron Studios and Daybreak Game Company have announced Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, arriving this summer with four-player squad support and new classes.
Bug hunts are officially expanding. Developers Cold Iron Studios and Daybreak Game Company have announced Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, bringing a fresh wave of cooperative survival action to PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, alongside PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Set for a release this summer, the sequel follows up on the 2021 cooperative third-person shooter with a major structural upgrade to the core gameplay formula.
The most notable change revealed in the initial announcement trailer is the expansion of squad sizes. Players can now team up in groups of four instead of the previous three player limit, which should completely shift team composition dynamics and make those frantic Xenomorph hordes even more chaotic. Alongside the player count bump, the development team has also pulled back the curtain on a new Medic class trailer, hinting at expanded roles for squad coordination.
As part of their ongoing coverage rollout, IGN reported that the title is serving as their editorial cover story for the month. That means players can expect a steady stream of exclusive gameplay breakdowns, hands-on impressions, and deep dives into new enemy types and character classes over the coming weeks. For cooperative gaming communities looking for their next major co-op rotation, this summer release is shaping up to be a key date on the calendar. Read the full details over at IGN South Africa.
