Aliens: Colonial Marines Officially Arriving February 12, 2013 Worldwide

If you need your fix of Aliens action this year, it looks like the only thing you’re getting is Ridley Scott’s Prometheus film.  

Sega and Gearbox Software have announced that they are releasing Aliens: Colonial Marines, its long-awaited FPS adventure, on February 12, 2013 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.  The Wii U version still doesn’t have a date as the team announced that a “release date will be revealed at a later time.”

“I am thrilled to announce the definitive launch date for Aliens: Colonial Marines,” said Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software.  “Aliens: Colonial Marines is the culmination of a life-time of inspiration from the films and relentless passion and drive from the exceptionally talented development team behind the scenes.”

“We knew this game would be incredible from the moment Gearbox began developing Aliens: Colonial Marines,” said, Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Sega Europe and Sega of America. “Now that the title is in its final stretch of development, we can confidently release the exact date that gamers will finally get to experience this blockbuster thrill-ride.”

“Sega has a proven track record with the Aliens franchise. Aliens vs. Predator released by Sega in 2009 became one of their top-selling titles,” said Gary Rosenfeld, Senior Vice President for New Media for Fox Consumer Products. “We look forward to working with them and bringing an exciting new way for fans to immerse themselves in the Aliens world.”
