Cold Iron Studios Reveals New Xenomorph Types in ‘Aliens: Fireteam’
If you thought you’d just be facing the same old Xenomorphs in Cold Iron Studios’ Aliens: Fireteam, guess again. IGN has broken news that the upcoming co-op game will feature a few new variants of Xenomorphs for you to tackle alongside Facehuggers and Synthetics.
In addition to the classic Drone, you’ll also be facing off against Bursters, which as you might expect, have the unfortunate ability to explode on death, spewing acid everywhere. Praetorians feature a bulletproof headplate that they also use for ramming. Prowlers are quadrupedal, and have a habit of jumping onto their prey from close range.
Similar to Prowlers are Runners, which hunt in large packs, and attack at high speed, and will use their serrated tails whilst circling their prey. Lastly there’s the Spitter, which attacks from a distance using acid from glands in its mouth. That’s not to say that they won’t use their claws and teeth up close.
Hit up the link above to see the designs for the new Xenomorphs.
In the meantime, you can also check out the 25-minute gameplay video for Fireteam released last week. Aliens: Fireteam is coming this Summer to 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.
