Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is out now. Its launch trailer at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 closed on “available now” with Steam, Epic Games Store, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S logos, followed by a second card announcing a Nintendo Switch 2 version for September 29.

The trailer, credited to Cold Iron Studios, Daybreak Game Company, and 20th Century Games, is built around two slogans, “no one survives alone” and “overwhelming firepower”. It opens on a Weyland-Yutani hangar and a xenomorph tail curling out of the dark, then cuts between a three-marine fireteam moving through a red-lit refinery, a colonist firing a heavy machine gun, a mech-suited marine, a drone spitting purple light, a pale, spindly alien variant loping across a landing pad, and a huge crested creature filling the frame. An overhead shot of a circular arena crawling with xenomorphs, and a jungle base with a spider-legged monstrosity, round out the tour of the co-op shooter’s biomes.

No price was given on stage.
