Aliens Fireteam Elite 2 continues the cooperative third-person shooter series set in the Alien universe, again sending squads of marines through swarms of Xenomorphs across dangerous missions. Class-based loadouts and team coordination remain central to survival.

As a sequel, it builds on the horde-shooter formula of its predecessor rather than reinventing it. It suits returning fans of the series and newcomers who enjoy cooperative shooters set against relentless alien threats.
