Aliens: Fireteam Elite is expanding this August with the new Pathogen DLC

Not content with announcing an all-new Aliens game recently, but the other Aliens game published by Focus Entertainment, Aliens: Fireteam Elite is getting a new expansion this August. Check out the trailer for it below.

Something sinister has evolved in the wilds of planet LV-895 and not even Xenomorphs are safe from its ravages. The crew of the Endeavor must venture into uncharted lands and face terrifying new enemies if they hope to discover the source of this mysterious new threat. This expansion adds a new campaign to Aliens: Fireteam Elite which features three exclusive story missions where players will attempt to survive against never-before-seen enemies with an armoury of new tools and cosmetics.

The Pathogen expansion is set to release for PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on August 30.

But wait, there is more as alongside the Pathogen expansion, developers Cold Iron Studios have also revealed plans for a free update for all Aliens: Fireteam Elite owners, a new Hardcore mode that will ship at the same time as Pathogen. In this mode, marines will be faced with an extreme survival challenge that will test their resolve and mental fortitude.

Wait, there is still more, because as a part of an upcoming July update, Aliens: Fireteam Elite will add crossplay, enabling players from around the world to form elite squads across all platforms.

The game is available now for PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
