New ‘Aliens: Fireteam’ Gameplay Video is 25 Minutes of Frenetic Bug-Hunting
So, you’re excited for Cold Iron Studios’ Aliens: Fireteam, you’ve read Neil’s preview, but you’re still wondering about the gameplay? No need to fret, as IGN has gone ahead and released a whopping 25 minute gameplay video showing the game in action.
The footage for the three-player co-op third-person shooter is a composite of the perspectives of Craig Zinkievich (CEO, Cold Iron Studios), Matt Highison (CCO, Cold Iron Studios), and IGN’s Ryan McCaffrey. The trio take part in a mission on an orbital refinery in the outer rim, where a distress call was made. You can gather just what’s gone down involving the Xenomorphs.
Set 23 years after the events of Alien 3, Aliens: Fireteam has you as a member of one of the Colonial Marines’ fireteams being sent to human-inhabited locations across four campaigns to deal with the Xenomorphs. The game will use a class system, where you can play as either a Gunner, Demolisher, Technician, Doc, or Recon.
Aliens: Fireteam is expected to arrive this Summer on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
