Gamers patiently waiting for the release of the new Aliens: Colonial Marines game launching on February 12th, 2013, will be pleased to learn that they can now pre-order the Aliens: Colonial Marines game with bonuses in tow.
Pre-ordering Aliens: Colonial Marines will bag you a “S.H.A.R.P. Stick!” as referenced by Hudson in Aliens, providing you with access to the prototype sonic-harpoon artillery remote projectile (S.H.A.R.P.) which fires time-delayed, explosive-tipped darts that embed themselves into enemies or terrain. This unique weapon adds an extra layer of strategy and excitement to the gameplay, allowing players to set traps and take down enemies in creative ways.
Immersive Gameplay and Authentic Environments
The Aliens: Colonial Marines game has been created by Gearbox and brings the Aliens film to virtual life as you get to battle the Alien horde first hand. Using authentic environments inspired by the film series including Hadley’s Hope, the Sulaco, and LV-426, the game immerses you into an eerie, atmospheric world where at any moment you could meet your death at the hands or teeth of an Alien! The attention to detail in recreating these iconic locations ensures that fans of the series will feel right at home, while newcomers will be drawn into the rich lore and intense atmosphere.
Multiplayer and Cooperative Play

One of the standout features of Aliens: Colonial Marines is its multiplayer and cooperative play modes. Players can team up with friends to tackle missions together, adding a layer of camaraderie and teamwork to the experience. The game offers various multiplayer modes, including competitive matches where players can take on the roles of either the Marines or the Aliens, each with their own unique abilities and tactics. This dynamic gameplay ensures that no two matches are ever the same, keeping the experience fresh and engaging.
In addition to the multiplayer modes, the game also features a robust single-player campaign that delves deeper into the story of the Colonial Marines. Players will encounter a variety of enemy types, each requiring different strategies to defeat. The game also includes a progression system, allowing players to unlock new weapons, abilities, and customization options as they advance through the game.
The development team at Gearbox has worked closely with the creators of the Aliens franchise to ensure that the game stays true to the source material. This collaboration has resulted in a game that not only captures the essence of the films but also expands on the lore in meaningful ways. Fans can expect to see familiar faces and hear iconic sound effects that will transport them back to the world of Aliens.
