The first details of SEGA's FPS action horror game, Aliens vs. Predator have landed.

Developed at Rebellion by the team responsible for the original 1999 classic, Aliens vs. Predator players will see players taking on the role of the three infamous species; the Colonial Marine, the Predator and the Alien. Each of the three species has its very own distinct story-driven single-player campaign mode that interweaves with the campaigns of the other two species. The game will also feature a unique 3-way online multiplayer, allowing 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.

On planet BG-386 a colonist mining group discovers an ancient pyramid containing a dark and horrible secret. Across the stars a race of warriors is alerted to the discovery of their pyramid and a hunting party is dispatched to ensure that it remains sealed at all costs, whilst deep inside the ruined pyramid a malevolent intelligence awakes from centuries of dormancy.

The Marine’s story is a 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 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 honour by ambushing prey up-close and butchering them for a gory trophy kill.

That's all the news for now, but check out these screenshots!

I swear to god, they had better make this good… Its been too long since I heard the sound of a pulse rifle!!! :)
Looks awesome. I was pretty let down by AvP2, which was developed by Monolith, who are otherwise a decent studio. However Rebellion pulled it off much better. Fingers crossed, this new one will reflect the originial much better.
AvP was Alien to AvP2's Aliens in my opinion. Both good. But in very different ways… Either way, the screen shots look great, so hopefully it will play as well…
Those images just look like a nice high-res update to the original game.

If that's the case, bring it on :devilish:

I can't wait to hear the sounds of the face-huggers scurrying through all the vents again :)
But will there be a moment as cool as being a chestburster and chewing through a guys chest to the open world (To muffled screams no less)…. I know it sounds sick, but if you love the films and also played the game, then well, you'll understand… :)
