Gearbox "working hard" on Aliens
In an interview with CVG, Gearbox head Randy Pitchford has stated that the company is working hard on the shooter Aliens: Colonial Marines and that there are "great things afoot".
"I know that there hasn't been much talk about what we're doing for awhile and that more details would be very juicy. Like so many people, I've been patient for years to finally be able to play this game and now that I'm actually involved in the creation of it I can tell you that it's extremely challenging to continue to be patient as it develops," he said
"I want to tell all! But I can't. But I can say that we are working hard and that there are great things afoot and I know that when the time is right, Sega will be excited to share more details about the game. Until that time, I guess the only thing anyone can do is just keep pressuring Gearbox and Sega to spill more beans. Maybe one of us will eventually crack.
"I love Aliens and I love Gearbox Software's Aliens: Colonial Marines. I am extremely committed to the game and I'm very confident in Sega's commitment to the Aliens brand and to our game.
"I can imagine that there are a LOT of Aliens fans out there just like me that feel we've been waiting for our true Aliens game since we first saw the film and now that we know it's in development, we want it NOW!"
There were concerns that the game would never see release after rumours swirled that the game had been canceled. There was no official announcement to confirm if they were true or not, and nothing has been shown of the game since. However, these statements should definitely please Aliens and shooter fans alike.
