Aliens Fireteam is full of intense firefights with xenomorphs.

Aliens: Fireteam preview — I’ve got movement!

The trailer for Aliens: Fireteam, a new survival shooter coming this summer, starts out with that familiar warning, “I’ve got movement!” And then the Xenomorphs — the terrifying creatures from the Alien universe — converge on you.

Fortunately, you’ve got a fireteam, a trio of heavy-duty Colonial Marines fighting in co-op style to fend off the mass attacks of the creatures from all directions. I got a virtual briefing on the game from Cold Iron Studios, the San Jose, California-based studio that is making the game in collaboration with 20th Century Games for PC and PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
