The Xenomorphs may be gearing up for another hunt. Fresh leaks suggest a new Aliens game is on the way, and all signs point to a reveal sooner rather than later.
This unannounced title is reportedly a direct sequel to 2021’s Aliens: Fireteam Elite, the third-person co-op shooter that followed the events of the original trilogy across a dozen missions. Early whispers began in 2024, but momentum has picked up after a new M rating surfaced on the ESRB website, hinting at two key details: platforms and publisher.
According to the rating information, the game is slated for PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, with Daybreak Game Company publishing. That aligns neatly with the series’ recent history, as Daybreak owns Cold Iron Studios, the team behind Fireteam Elite. The ESRB page that reportedly listed the rating now returns a 404 error, but ratings like this typically appear late in development, often just ahead of a public announcement or launch window update.
Previous leaks pointed to a late 2025 release target, which would fit the timing implied by an ESRB classification. If that timeline holds, fans won’t have to wait too long for an official reveal.
Expectations are understandably high. Aliens: Fireteam Elite launched to mixed critical reception but has since built a strong reputation among players, reflected in its very positive user reviews on Steam. A sequel has a real opportunity to refine the co-op action, deepen the arsenal, and ratchet up the tension that defines the franchise’s best moments.
Until there’s an announcement, consider this a well-supported rumor. But with a rating spotted, platforms named, and a publisher identified, the next chapter in the Aliens saga looks closer than ever. Fans of sci-fi shooters and co-op survival should keep their motion trackers on.
