Disney has not officially announced the sequel to Aliens: Fireteam Elite, but information about Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 was discovered on the ESRB website, which is responsible for rating video games in the United States. The ESRB rating indicates that Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is intended for players aged 17 and older, due to violent content involving blood, and can be played on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, or PC. Despite this information, the game has not been officially announced yet.
Development Progress and Sequel Details
The age rating process typically involves evaluating a complete or near-complete version of the game, including graphics, bugs, and final refinements. This suggests that Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is already in an advanced stage of development. The original Aliens: Fireteam Elite was released in 2021 as a third-person action game developed by Cold Iron Studio.
In July 2024, references to a game titled “Project Macondo” were found in Disney files circulating online. This game was identified as a sequel to Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, with some differences and new features, set to release in the third quarter of 2025. Reports indicated that the sequel would include new modes such as “Annihilation,” a Horde mode, as well as pre-defined characters with unique abilities and advantages. Additionally, it was stated that the game would not feature microtransactions or loot box mechanics.
