Originally leaked last night from a Best Buy listing, Cold Iron Studios and Focus Home Interactive have made it official with Aliens: Fireteam Elite‘s name change, as well as its release date.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite will arrive for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC on August 24th. Regardless of platform, Aliens: Fireteam Elite will set you back $39.99.

“Set in the Alien universe, Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a cooperative third-person survival shooter that drops your fireteam of hardened marines into a desperate fight to contain the Xenomorph threat. Face overwhelming odds against over 20 enemy types, including 11 different Xenomorphs along the evolutionary scale from Facehuggers to Praetorians, each designed with their own intelligence to ambush, outsmart and eviscerate vulnerable marines.”

Along with the release date announcement comes the goodies. A Digital Deluxe Edition will be available, which includes the “Endeavor Veteran Pack” and “Endeavor Pass” that contains four additional cosmetic DLC bundles (class kit skins, weapon colors, head accessories, and more). That will be due out post-launch, alongside free major updates.

Pre-orders for any edition of the game include the “Hardened Marine Pack,” which includes the “Bandana Head” accessory, “Digital Red Camo” weapon color, three weapon decals, and “Chestburster” joke emote.

Thanks for the heads up, Gematsu.

‘Morbid: The Lords of Ire’ Bumped Up to May 17 Release, Adds Xbox One Support [Trailer]

Published

Publisher Merge Games and developer Still Running have announced a release date bump of May 17 for their horrorpunk action-adventure title Morbid: The Lords of Ire. The follow-up to the 2020 Lovecraftian RPG Morbid: The Seven Acolytes was originally set to release on May 23 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, the Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

Accompanying the release date change is a new trailer, as well as news that Morbid: The Lords of Ire will be getting support for Xbox One, allowing last-gen players to get in on the fun. The game will also see a physical edition heading to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, with pre-orders available now.

Morbid: The Lords of Ire invites players to risk madness venturing through a revolting hell as the Striver of Dibrom. You must fight across tortured landscapes in an all-new 3D perspective in order to defeat the returning five Lords of Ire, slaughtering hideous creatures using a range of vicious weapons, equipment and blessings.

How you approach combat in Morbid: The Lords of Ire can have a dramatic impact on the world around you. The Lords of Ire builds upon the sanity system from Morbid: The Seven Acolytes, whereby succumbing to insanity can grant incredible power, but at great personal risk, and will dynamically change how you perceive the world around you.

The demo for The Lords if Ire is still available on PlayStation and Steam.
