Having made a triumphant return at E3 2011, Aliens: Colonial Marines showed a lot of promise since the fandom Gearbox has for the franchise is apparent in every dark xenomorph infested inch of LV-426. Going into PAX Prime this year I was aware that Aliens: Colonial Marines was going to be at the show but really didn’t think much of it as it was simply the E3 demo made available for gamers eager enough to wait in line for forty-five minutes. But after talking to one fine chap at Sega, I learned that the PAX Prime presentation of Aliens: Colonial Marines came with a small bonus: three extra minutes of footage put together by Gearbox just for the event. Being an eager fan of the Aliens franchise I decided three minutes of footage was worthy of my time thus I made a casual stroll over to Sega’s booth to enjoy some more xenomorph bloodshed.
Sega has released its financial statement for the 2023-24 fiscal year, and profits may be up, but it's mostly not down to video games.
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.

The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.
It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.
Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol
I really want to see some gameplay footage of this, I love the alien franchise and hope this game lives up to it.
I'm really surprised that nobody even recorded any of this game.. I can't wait either
