badasses against the deadliest killers in the galaxy.
In partnership with Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products and developed by critically acclaimed studio Gearbox Software, Aliens: Colonial Marines will bring new
levels of bone-chilling suspense and adrenaline-filled action to the renowned franchise. The game pits players against the universes ultimate alien killing machines,
the Xenomorphs, in claustrophobic environments guaranteed to produce blood curdling thrills that the movie is renowned for.
Aliens: Colonial Marines begins with an ostensibly abandoned ship, the U.S.S. Sulaco, recovered in orbit around LV-426. Players lead a group of highly trained
United States Colonial Marines as they board the deserted craft to uncover the fate of the crew. They will have to fight to survive unspeakable horrors and their
own anxieties as they chase down the truth behind a galaxy-spanning deception that places humanity at the mercy of the most murderous and deadly species in the
universe. Aliens: Colonial Marines features authentic environments, such as the surface of LV-426 and Hadleys Hope, weapons inspired by the film series and is
designed to provide an exhilarating and engaging new chapter in the Aliens universe."
