Aliens: Fireteam has a release date—and a new name

Cold Iron Studios has released a new trailer and release date for for Aliens: Fireteam—or should we say Aliens: Fireteam Elite? That’s the new, more elite-r title the developer has given its upcoming co-op shooter, which is due to hit stores August 24th, 2021.

Apart from the name and the date, not much has changed since we saw the game in March. You can check out the new trailer, with all the Xenomorph action you’d expect from an Aliens shooter, below.
