"Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2" is suspected to be in development and may be accidentally released before the end of this year.The game will be the sequel to Cold Iron Studios' 2021 game. Although it has not been officially announced, the ESRB has completed the rating of the game.

Foreign media Gematsu shared a screenshot of the ESRB rating of "Alien: Fireteam 2" on social media. The rating has now been removed from the ESRB official website.Screenshots show that "Alien: Fireteam 2" received an ESRB M rating (which is also the rating received by most AAA games). The reason is that the sequel contains a lot of violent scenes, swear words, blood spurting and cruel scenes, which sounds very consistent with what an "Alien" game should look like.

The rating news also mentioned that "Alien: Fireteam 2" is suspected of changing its publisher. It is no longer Focus Entertainment, but Daybreak Games, and it will be launched on PC, PS5 and Xbox platforms.Considering that a game only gets a rating when it's closer to release, this strongly suggests that Alien: Fireteam 2 is not far away from its official release.

Details of "Alien: Fireteam 2" have been leaked on Reddit before. It is reported that the new game is codenamed Project Macondo and will have a new story campaign, levels that can be completed in a variety of different ways, and alien enemies with evolved behaviors.

Coincidentally, in 2023, Daybreak confirmed that it would serve as the publisher of Cold Iron's next game, and also said that Cold Iron's next game is an "exciting new multiplayer action shooting game based on a major global IP license" and "released in 2025."All this is consistent with the ESRB classification news.
