[UPDATE] - The first details, screenshots and trailer are in. Firstly, the game is confirmed for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC for early 2010.

Moreover, we already knew each of the three species will have its has its very own distinct story-driven single-player campaign that interweaves with the campaigns of the other two species, but we didn't know that the game would also feature 3-way online multiplayer. This will allow gamers to pit the three species against each other in the ultimate battle for survival and for the right to be crowned the deadliest species.

Story: On planet BG-386 a colonist mining group discovers an ancient pyramid containing a dark and horrible secret. Across the stars a race of warriors is alerted to the discovery of their pyramid and a hunting party is dispatched to ensure that it remains sealed at all costs, whilst deep inside the ruined pyramid a malevolent intelligence awakes from centuries of dormancy.


Marine: The Marine's story is an incredible fight against the odds, and the horrors lurking in the dark. Beset on all sides yet armed to the teeth, the Colonial Marine represents humanity's last stand with the firepower to fight back.


Alien: As the Alien, players will discover what it's like to be the most murderous and lethal creature in the universe, with the ability to traverse any surface with awesome agility in order to get close enough to unleash its deadly teeth and claws.


Predator: A master of the hunt, the Predator grants the player a suite of exotic weaponry and equipment with which to stalk its unknowing prey. Earn the greatest honour by ambushing prey up-close and butchering them for a gory trophy kill.

"The original Aliens vs Predator game was a landmark title for Rebellion, and we are both proud and excited to be revisiting the license with SEGA and Fox.
