New Aliens game confirmed for Q1 2009

Aliens: Colonial Marines has had a difficult history. First announced in 2006, the game has been reported dead many times, with the developer firing many employees last year causing more concern for its status.

The game was reported as "still alive" back in November, and today Sega has confirmed that it will see a release in the first quarter of this year on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Sorry Nintendo fans.

Aliens: Colonial Marines is still alive

Kotaku has confirmed that the upcoming Gearbox/Sega game Aliens: Colonial Marines, first announced in 2006, is still on. The company had apparently fired 26 employees due to low sales of their most recent game Brothers In Arms, however this has been explained as "some transformative and talent changes" with people actually being hired.

Expect the stomach-popping game to be released some time next year.
