Presumably, Cold Iron studio is developing a sequel to Aliens: Fireteam Elite. The information leak is associated with yesterday's hacker attack on Disney, as a result of which more than 1 TB of data was stolen.

Screenshots of the presentation of an unannounced game codenamed Project Macondo were shared by Reddit users after studying leaked documents. The game is called «a new chapter of Aliens: Fireteam Elite» with improved mechanics and atmosphere. Gamers will have to go through a new story campaign with a squad of two characters or the players themselves as part of a special company that hunts xenomorphs.

Other Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 details:

  • There will be alternative routes;
  • Improve the artificial intelligence of opponents;
  • A new mode «Annihilation» will appear;
  • The game will feature five preset character archetypes with unique skills and weapons;
  • There will be no support for voice and text chat within the game; this function will be taken over by Steam and other platforms;
  • Loot boxes and monetization are not provided;
  • Post-release content has not yet been determined.

Judging by the documents, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 will be released on PC and the latest versions of PlayStation and Xbox.

Let us remind you that the first part of the shooter was developed in collaboration with Disney 20th Century Game and released in 2021. Critics received the project averagely — the ratings on Metacritic were 69/100 points, but on Steam the game earned a rating of 80%.
