Aliens: Colonial Marines

Your Team Will Die In Survivor Mode

Survival has been a theme of the Alien films since the first adorable facehugger popped out of its egg. Aliens: Colonial Marines has an appropriately themed multiplayer mode, which Sega has revealed through a new trailer.

Survivor pits four Colonial Marines against unrelenting waves of xenomorphs. It's possibly the best implementation of a horde-like mode we've seen in a long time. You'll be able to set up fortifications like machine-gun turrets and grab special weapons such as flamethrowers. And as the trailer plainly states, you will all die. It's not the most hopeful message, but at least it's honest.

Look for the game on February 12.

  • Can't wait!

  • I'm getting more and more excited for this. But it shouldn't be called Survival Mode if you're going to die. Knowing how bad I play, I'll probably kill myself with a grenade :p
  • Looks really fun, definitely looking forward to it.

  • wow this looks amazing!

  • That does look fun.  Brings back memories of playing AvP.

  • Sweet, We'll finally get the sequel to Aliens we've always wanted.

  • Have they been talking about what the Wii U version will have yet? I've got my preorder on that copy because I have to imagine they'll be doing awesome stuff with the GamePad.

  • Hope this lives up to the hype. Really looking forward to it!

  • @Loise, you make $32h...good for you! I make up to $84h working from home. My story is that I quit working at shoprite to work online and with a little effort I easily bring in around $45h to $85h…heres a good example of what i'm doing..http://lnk.co/KRDJS

  • hoho~ amazing!

  • Looks like the first horde mode in a while that has actually got me pumped up. Scarier than Gears of War, more pulse-pounding than firefight, and set in my number one favorite sci-fi universe? Yes please.
  • I traded in AvP after I realized I didn't like it that much, and another game set exclusively in the Alien universe was just over the horizon. I really don't care about the Predator parts, I just want a great Aliens game. This better be it!
  • Please take a page from horde 2.0 on survival it would make the games survival as good as it is much better  

  • I'm actually excited for this. Just hopes it comes out before I beat Persona 3.

  • Nice challenge.

  • Staff
    If a series was ever worthy of having a Horde mode, it's Aliens.
  • "State-of-the-badass-art"

  • Sploosh...

  • Oh boo ho, as if I have not played XCOM Enemy  Unkwon.

  • one word AWESOME
