Developer Cold Iron Studios has released Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, available for Windows PC, PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Up to four players control colonial marines fending off waves of Xenomorphs in horde-style survival scenarios across dedicated maps.

Following up on the gameplay established by Aliens: Fireteam Elite, the cooperative third-person shooter incorporates deeper team-based mechanics across new and improved classes, smarter foes, and a fully customizable Specialist class for mixing and matching abilities.

The Original Video Game Soundtrack is now available through Spotify and other streaming platforms, published by 20th Century Studios. A soundtrack trailer can be viewed on composer Austin Wintory's YouTube channel.

The album showcases orchestral performances by Nashville Scoring at RCA Studios, orchestrated by the composer in collaboration with Susie Seiter, with additional arrangements by Pavel Šabacký.


Featured performers include Tom Strahle on electric bass, Kristin Naigus on oboe, English horn, flutes, and assorted instruments, with percussion by MB Gordy, Sara Belle Reid on trumpet and synths, Noah Gladstone on serpents, and vocals by Rachel Hardy. Mixing and mastering are contributed by Steve Kempster.

The composer's soundtrack from the original game in the series received a Grammy Award nomination in 2022. The full score, complemented by text commentary, can also be viewed on YouTube.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. The Windows PC edition is on Steam and the Epic Games Store, published by Daybreak Games. Confirmed during gamescom Opening Night Live, the Nintendo Switch 2 port will launch on Tuesday, September 29th.


From the Steam description:
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. Every room could be your last. Coordinate with your fireteam, leverage each class’s unique abilities, and adapt on the fly as encounters escalate from tense standoffs to all-out war. With deeper squad mechanics, smarter enemies, and a fully customizable Specialist class, AFE2 delivers the definitive co-op Aliens experience.
