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.
