The release date for Aliens: Fireteam Elite is now set and you can pre-order to get some fun Aliens extras with it
The fireteam is coming out here this August with the announcement of Aliens: Fireteam Elite‘s release date set down and pre-orders starting up. It feels like only a few months ago that Cold Iron Studios gave us the announcement for it all and now we will be able to play it all on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC in just a few months. Great news for those that have been aching to get some new Aliens stuff in their life. It is now time to mark it down, you will be able to pick the game up on August 24th as of now. This should not change up until then, but saying things are in a solid state at this point always feels like a gamble after the last bit of time we have gone through.
Pre-ordering Aliens: Fireteam here will score you a few accessories, emotes, and digital extras to expand out your team just a bit more. Nothing overly exciting to have there. In addition to all of that, there will be a Deluxe Edition for it too that will include two more DLC packs that will come along too. Both will add more cosmetics to the game and not add much more than any of that to the game. This is something that looks like will be needed here for this Aliens title with the gameplay we have to look at here. The mechanics look like they will be flowing perfectly fine, but the visuals seem like something from the mid-2000s if I say so myself. Granted, this is not something that will make or break a title, but it does not help to sell cosmetics if that is the bigger selling point as of now.

Are you still excited for this Aliens title to get out there or does it feel like it is building up to the same thing we have had in the past?
