The Emergence of Project Macondo
According to a recent Reddit report, an unannounced sequel to Aliens: Fireteam Elite, codenamed Project Macondo, is reportedly in development and slated for release in Q3 2025. The third-person co-op shooter aims to build upon the success of its predecessor, promising enhanced mechanics, atmosphere, and excitement.
The sequel, targeted at "18+ core gamers," introduces fixed preset character archetypes, including The Swift, The Deadly, The Silent, The Commander, and The Ranger. Each archetype features unique weapons and abilities, offering players diverse gameplay experiences.
Sources suggest that Project Macondo will feature an expanded story campaign where players can team up with AI companions or live players as members of Dagger Company, elite Xenomorph hunters.
Enhanced Gameplay and Features
Players can anticipate confronting evolved enemy intelligence and engaging in the new Annihilation mode, a twist on the classic Horde mode. Notably, the game is reported to exclude microtransactions, loot boxes, or gacha mechanics, although it lacks native in-game voice or text chat options for team communication.
Reflecting on the original game's appeal, a reviewer noted, "Aliens: Fireteam Elite delivers on its promise with intense cooperative gameplay against iconic sci-fi foes, offering a new narrative beyond the original trilogy. While not the most complex shooter, it provides a thrilling experience perfect for Ripley fans."
These revelations suggest that Project Macondo could significantly expand the Aliens: Fireteam game.
