The story so far…

Taking place seventeen weeks after the 1986 science fiction masterpiece, Aliens Colonial Marines is the videogame continuation of aliens that dives head first into the rich tapestry that was originally created over twenty-five years ago.

A distress signal sent out by Cpl. Dwayne Hicks is picked up by the Conestoga-class ship USS Sephora, but upon their arrival something is not as it should be. The ship Ellen Ripley, Hicks, and Newt were on, the USS Sulaco, is back in orbit over LV-426 and not over the planet Fury-161 as it should be. The Marines of the Sephora investigate the ship and begin to unravel a mystery involving the corporation Weyland-Yutani.
