Up to four players control colonial marines fending off waves of Xenomorphs in horde-style survival scenarios across dedicated maps. The latest video previews of the cooperative third-person shooter showcase the duelist and marauder classes in action.
The sequel features deeper team-based mechanics across new and improved classes, smarter foes, and a fully customizable Specialist class for mixing and matching abilities.
Composer Austin Wintory's soundtrack from the original game earned a Grammy Award nomination in 2022. The full score, complemented by text commentary, is hosted on the musician's YouTube channel. The 24-track album is also available for streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music Unlimited.
Announced during gamescom Opening Night Live, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 for Nintendo Switch 2 will launch on September 29th. A soundtrack trailer can be viewed on the composer's YouTube channel.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 drops up to four players into the boots of Colonial Marines deployed to the most hostile corners of the Aliens universe. This is not a rescue mission – it’s a fight for survival. Xenomorphs stalk the corridors, ambush from the shadows, and swarm in overwhelming numbers.Aliens: Fireteam Elite Soundtrack (Streaming) - Apple Music / YouTube Music
