addedThe Pathogen expansion for Aliens: Fireteam Elite is now available and there’s a swarm of new content to go through. Join us as we dive into the trenches with Head of Studio Craig Zinkievich, Lead Content Designer Kris DeMeza, Creative Director Matt Highison, Systems Designer Corey LeFever, and Lead Systems & Combat Designer Chris Matz.
added" It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since we first launched Aliens: Fireteam Elite! We got to tell the story of Katanga and LV-895 in the initial four campaigns of the game, but we left plenty of threads lying around for other missions and stories the crew of the Endeavor could explore. Thanks to our incredible community and the support we’ve received, we realized we could provide players with more story content, and it didn’t take us long to figure out the exhilarating story we wanted to tell. Pushing ourselves and our storytelling to delve deeper into the Pathogen enemies of LV-895 that players encountered in Campaign 3: The Gift of Fire, we realized there was a lot left unexplored there. Where did these creatures come from? Why are there so many? The Pathogen is so dangerous that it was an obvious priority for The Endeavor, and Cold Iron to investigate. This expansion includes new enemies, new stories, and our toughest missions yet. We can’t wait to see you all take them on! "
addedAs Craig alluded to, Pathogen finds the crew of the Endeavor on a mission to discover more about the mysterious infection ravaging LV-895. They must venture into new and unexplored Engineer ruins and investigate a deadly new hive unlike anything they’ve seen before. If you haven’t seen it already, check out the official gameplay trailer below!
changedThe Pathogen campaign spans three missions following the events of the successful Regicide mission in campaign four of the base game. It all starts when Esther detects unusual activity from the Xenomorphs that remain on Pala Station on the surface of LV-895. Large groups are traveling south to a big canyon complex, and when Xenomorphs act strange, Colonel Shipp wants to know why. But before things get to Shipp, they first must go through Cold Iron’s Kris Demeza.
added" We know players have been wanting more story content and we're excited to be able to bring that to them with this expansion. We built a whole new three-mission campaign exploring the consequences of Pathogen spreading on LV-895. We focused on making environments with a focus on exploration, presenting players with the opportunity to stick together or divide and conquer. Dangerous new enemies and hazardous locations might overwhelm the lone Marine, so make sure your friends - or the ever-loyal Alpha and Beta - are ready to help if you get in over your head! At the end of this trek lurks an often asked for threat: a boss fight in the shape of the Pathogen Queen. She's waiting to topple the unwary, so bring your consumables and get ready to unload! "
addedThat’s right! If you didn’t notice in the trailer above or if you missed her debut on our social channels, then consider this your official warning: the Pathogen Queen has arrived. But before you get to her, you’ll have to make it through a host of new enemies and threats. From an infected Brute to walls that are ready to kill you, there’s threats around every corner in Pathogen
