SEGA have just let us know that Aliens: Colonial Marines will launch next year, with a release of February 12th, 2013.
“As the authentic addition to the ALIENS franchise canon, the game’s stunning visuals and adrenaline pumping action will deliver breathtakingly immersive single, cooperative and competitive multi-player modes,” says the press release.
“Providing for an innovative asymmetrical competitive multiplayer experience, Aliens: Colonial Marines lets players fight in first person as the ultimate combatants – the United States Colonial Marines, or in third person as the universe’s deadliest killers – the Xenomorphs.”
“I am thrilled to announce the definitive launch date for Aliens: Colonial Marines,” said Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software. “Aliens: Colonial Marines is the culmination of a life-time of inspiration from the films and relentless passion and drive from the exceptionally talented development team behind the scenes.”
“We knew this game would be incredible from the moment Gearbox began developing Aliens: Colonial Marines,” said, Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing for SEGA.
“Now that the title is in its final stretch of development, we can confidently release the exact date that gamers will finally get to experience this blockbuster thrill-ride.”

Helps explain SEGA’s gamescom no-show. On the plus side it’s now got plenty of clear air between it and Borderlands 2 which suits me fine. (Only got time for one co-op shooter at once.)

I didn’t realise you could play as the Aliens in the multiplayer. I loved playing as them in AVP, fingers crossed this game has a working matchmaking system!
