Aliens: Colonial Marines set for Q1 2009 release

This should put all the doubts to rest. If Gearbox president Randy Pitchford’s assurance that Aliens: Colonial Marines (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) has not been canned, will not do for you, then maybe a release date will do the trick.

Sega has confirmed that the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC versions of the team-based shooter will be making its way out to the market on the first quarter of 2009. No exact months stipulated, though, but since April to June defines Q1 in the Japanese company’s fiscal year, then it’s safe to assume it’ll be around that time.

Hopefully we’ll be able to pick up more information on this game in the very near future. I mean, no wonder people keep thinking it’s been canned.
