Overview
- Publisher Daybreak and developer Cold Iron confirmed on Thursday that Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 will launch digitally on August 25, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series consoles, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
- The game centers on up to four‑player cooperative third‑person combat with deeper squad mechanics, smarter enemies, class abilities, and a fully customizable Specialist role to shape squad tactics.
- Two digital editions were announced: a Standard Edition for $49.99 and a 40th Anniversary Premium Edition for $69.99, with the premium content also sold separately as a $19.99 upgrade.
- Day‑one paid content includes the $9.99 Rain’s Jackson’s Star Pack that adds an Alien: Romulus outfit and a cryoweapon‑equipped pulse rifle, while the premium edition bundles Ripley’s Hive Exterminator and Herk Mondo’s Pest cosmetic and weapon packs.
- The launch is positioned around cosmetic and weapon DLC rather than separate physical releases, which could shape player spending and future post‑launch content plans tied to the Alien franchise.
