First Aliens VS Predator 3 trailer. Includes 3-way online multiplayer. Due early 2010
New details have been released regarding Aliens vs Predator (3), the upcoming first-person shooter in development by Rebellion Entertainment for release in early 2010 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Published by Sega, it is the first in a series of upcoming Aliens games licensed by Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising (Fox Licensing).
Developed by the team responsible for the original 1999 classic, players will be able to play as either the Alien, Predator or Marine (just like in the original games). And as in the former games each species has its own unique abilities.
The game will also feature not only a distinct story-driven single-player campaign for each of the three species, but also a unique 3-way online multiplayer mode, which allows gamers to pit the three species against each other in the ultimate battle for survival and for the right to be crowned the deadliest species.
Here is a trailer for the game.
The Marine’s story is an incredible fight against the odds, and the horrors lurking in the dark. Beset on all sides yet armed to the teeth, the Colonial Marine represents humanity’s last stand with the firepower to fight back.
As the Alien, players will discover what it’s like to be the most murderous and lethal creature in the universe, with the ability to traverse any surface with awesome agility in order to get close enough to unleash its deadly teeth and claws.
A master of the hunt, the Predator grants the player a suite of exotic weaponry and equipment with which to stalk its unknowing prey. Earn the greatest honor by ambushing prey up-close and butchering them for a gory trophy kill.
“The original Aliens vs. Predator game was a landmark title for Rebellion, and we are both proud and excited to be revisiting the license with SEGA and Fox L&M. Our new technology will enable us to produce a truly terrifying and visceral experience,” said Jason Kingsley, CEO and Creative Director at Rebellion.
“Aliens vs. Predator is a powerful franchise for Fox and provides endless possibilities in the interactive space,” said Gary Rosenfeld, Senior Vice President, New Media for Fox Licensing. “SEGA and Rebellion have created an excellent gaming experience that will help this legacy live on.”
