The game is launching across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version planned for autumn. Publisher Daybreak recently acquired developer Cold Iron Studios.
The studio has been showcasing the sequel's new class system ahead of launch, with recent trailers highlighting the Marauder, Machinist, and Hunter roles. The Marauder specializes in stylish firepower, the Machinist provides area control and team buffs, and the Hunter balances high damage output with support capabilities. Cold Iron Studios is also presenting behind-the-scenes content at San Diego Comic-Con, including art and sound design panels. Special editions tied to the Alien franchise's 40th anniversary and the recent Alien: Romulus film are planned for launch. Meanwhile, the original game's Nintendo Switch cloud version has been shut down, leaving Switch players unable to access their purchased copies.
