Gearbox hypes up Aliens: Colonial Marines

It seems Rebellion’s Aliens vs Predator has spurred Sega’s interest in pursuing their other Aliens game, Aliens: Colonial Marines. After missing its planned 2009 release and being put on the backburner, the game is now reportedly once again on the way.

It seems Rebellion’s Aliens vs Predator has spurred Sega’s interest in pursuing their other Aliens game, Aliens: Colonial Marines. After missing its planned 2009 release and being put on the backburner, the game is now reportedly once again on the way.

Randy Pitchford made the reveal in an interview with MCV. “We have an Aliens game with Sega and 20th Century Fox which we’re really excited about,” he said. “It’s the thing I’ve been stealing from all my career. Now I’m really working on it, but we’ve been quiet about that so far.”

Pitchford also explained that development on Colonial Marines stalled because of the studio’s own new IP, Borderlands. “Borderlands took over Gearbox. We had so much fun working on that and when we finished we wanted to carry on,” said the Gearbox boss.
