Escape With This Official Trailer for Aliens: Colonial Marines

I for one am absolutely stoked for SEGA & Gearbox’s Aliens: Colonial Marines, yes it has been a very long time coming and at one point I almost gave up hope, but, the game is coming and on February 12, 2013, we will be able to witness the horrors on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

In the meantime, we have just scored a brand new trailer which takes a look at the multiplayer mode, and while the game looks a little dated, at least by today’s standards, I’m all for it.

The game is also said to be released on the Wii U, but a release date is unknown at this time.

“You and your friends against the deadliest killers in the galaxy. Another glorious day in the corps.

Buckle up, soldier! Welcome to Aliens: Colonial Marines. Created by Gearbox, the critically acclaimed and fan-favorite developers of Borderlands and Brothers In Arms, this first-person shooter is steeped in the eerie, claustrophobic and terrifying atmosphere that made the Aliens films successful worldwide. You and your friends will become the most badass military outfit in the galaxy – the US Colonial Marines. It’s down to you to not just survive but wipe out the Xeno infestation.
