The next season for Cold Iron Studio’s co-op shooter Aliens: Fireteam Elite will arrive on December 14, bringing with it new weapons, challenges, and a fresh game mode.
The update is dubbed “Point Defence”, which is also the name of the new game mode that Cold Iron is adding to the game (thanks, PCGamesN). The new season will be launching for the game on all formats – Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC.
Point Defence sounds like a mix of tower defence and horde control mechanics. Player teams will have three locations to defend from swarms of enemies over multiple attack waves. As the protected points take damage, players will need to repair them while also staving off the next onslaught of xenomorphs.
“Fabrication Points” will be earned as you play the game, which can in turn be spent on temporary buffs to improve your chances. There will also be 20 unlockable rewards available through successful play.
