New Co-Op Shooter ALIENS: FIRETEAM Could Be Lit

Now hear me out– I know games themed around the Alien franchise have typically turned out to be trash (sup Colonial Marines), so taking this unveiling with a grain of salt is advised. If you look at the trailer for Aliens: Fireteam, however, it’s hard not to have high hopes that we’re in for a fun time with this installment. For starters, it’s a third-person shooter, which I’d argue is the better perspective for shooter games, especially in casual gaming settings. From a gameplay standpoint, it appears it’ll fill the void that the Left 4 Dead franchise vacated– horde-style co-op shooting with many jump scares. Lastly, the game looks visually-stunning, as if it truly utilizes the of next-gen hardware. A welcome sight in a year that seems to be slow on next-gen catered titles, thus far.

The trailer above is just a look at some of the alpha footage, and that’s certainly gotten our attention here at New Meta. Aliens: Fireteam is set to release on Playstation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and Steam sometime in Summer 2021. We’ll be keeping an eye out for this game as we approach its release in the coming months.
