Aliens
It is finally time to showcase all of the Aliens that we are going to need to deal with in Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2
The humans have all had their go at having a showcase out there for Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, and now it is time for some of the stars of the show to come forth. It is time for Cold Iron Studios and Daybreak Games to put the Xenomorphs on display to let us see what will be hunting us down on August 25th. As long as you're willing to scream out there on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC. That is a bit of an ask, but so far, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 has looked like it is ready to answer all of those calls for us. That all said, let's have a look at the various Xenomorphs that we will need to run, hide, or shoot as we take our squad of Marines deep into the belly of the beast.
Before you start to think that we are only going to get a few of the Xenos that we've seen in the Aliens IP so far, you'll be a bit surprised here. Not just because we needed variety in the mix of things, but also in a way that feels as if they would have evolved further than just the Drones and Facehuggers. Those 2 are in the list of Xenomorphs, don't you worry, but we also have a few others that will give us a Brute and Marauder type of Xeno, a few other hybrid-looking ones, and a Siren. I'm going to guess that last one is more about calling in the hordes while the others are all about hunting and killing us in Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2. The following video even starts to allude to us getting to see a Queen in the mix of the Xenos, but we'll have to wait until the game fully launches next week to see that all in action. That's my best guess, but we have all of the others to gawk at in the following video showcase that the teams have offered up.

Are you surprised at all of the Xenos we'll see in Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2? Did you think that we were only going to get the few that we've seen in the films up to now? Will there be a great in-universe explanation for each of the other types that we're going to have to face down? Will we actually need to face off with a Queen in the game, or will it only be heard as it pumps out more and more Xenos for us to fight? Let's talk it all out in the comment section down the page here. Next week is the big one for Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, so it is unlikely that we'll have a whole lot more before it launches. Just know that if we do, it'll all be on the site for you to see and enjoy. Follow along here and on all of our socials to see when that all might come to fruition. The excitement is real, and we need to ride this wave all the way until launch.
