Terror prepares to strike with the Aliens: Dark Descent Story Trailer

Lead your soldiers in a fight against an emerging Xenomorph outbreak when Aliens: Dark Descent launches on June 20th. Before that, publisher Focus Entertainment has given us a taste of what to expect with a new Story Trailer ahead of the release.

Players will command a squad of Colonial Marines in real-time combat against the classic aliens, using all manner of weaponry and abilities at your disposal. Recruit new soldiers, level up and navigate a top down world - where danger lurks around every corner.

As the nightmare begins you'll explore a crashed spacecraft that has landed on the Planet Lethe, and investigate what happened to the ship and crew. There's plenty of things looking to eat you, from Facehuggers, Alien Queens and much more (including a new threat). Whether you're an Aliens fan, or just looking to flame grill some aliens then Aliens Dark Descent may be the game for you!

Aliens: Dark Descent launches later today at 15:00 PDT / 23:00 BST. Pre-order before release and receive the exclusive Lethe Recon Pack featuring the Black Camo Armor Set for your squad and a unique feline companion to liven up the decks of the Otago.
