![]() All of us on the development team see the end of this project coming closer, and this cycle of development is always very exciting. One of the very exciting parts of this new trailer is that we are also firmly announcing our street date: February 12th, 2013. That is, as you know, easier said than done. But during those 17 weeks, Weyland Yutani has been busy: They found the Sulaco, brought it back to LV-426 and have restarted their operations to capture and control the xenomorph. Now, 26 years after the release of the movie Aliens, you are part of that rescue mission – returning to LV-426 17 weeks after the beacon was sent out. ![]() ![]() Hudson: Seventeen days?! Hey man, I don’t wanna rain on your parade, but we’re not gonna last 17 hours! Ripley: How long after we’re declared overdue can we expect a rescue? You might remember this scene from the movie: In Aliens: Colonial Marines you get to play the part of Winter, a Marine on the ship Sephora responding to the rescue beacon that was sent out in the movie Aliens. Today we have released our new trailer, which we have dubbed “Suspense.” Our earlier ACM demos and videos showed some of the action in the game but a big part of the Aliens world is also tension and suspense – the universe of Aliens is a scary place. When fans see our demo they tell me that it’s looking great…but then warn us not to “mess it up.” And I have found that people all around the world, people of all ages, love Aliens. I have been lucky enough to show Aliens: Colonial Marines to fans at PAX, E3, Gamescom, Igromir and more. Another key word is “intimidating,” because Aliens is a revered franchise with fans all over the world. It is so important to all of us to do this game right - the Aliens franchise deserves an awesome video game. The team at Gearbox is very passionate not only about Aliens but storytelling and the game experience. First of all, “passion” is a key word in the development of this game. When people ask me what it is like working on a game based on Aliens, a game that is the actual sequel to the movie Aliens, it is tough to put the experience into words.
