Aliens: Colonial Marines Coming In 2012

Sega and developer Gearbox Software have announced that the long-delayed Aliens: Colonial Marines is finally coming in 2012.

The PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 title will appear on shelves sometime in the spring of 2012. Of course, no game is immune to being delayed multiple times, but the fact that both companies are confident enough about the timeframe to put out a press release about it – and that it's relatively far away – hopefully means that this particular release window is doable.

The game features drop in/out co-op play, and hopes to replicate the frantic, claustrophobic, and eerie vibe of the Aliens film.
