Team 17’s Alien Breed series is set to continue this week in Alien Breed 2: Assault. The game will be released on 22 September 2010 via Steam and XBLA.
The game is the second chapter in the Alien Breed series where players take control of Conrad, Chief Engineer aboard the dying ship Leopold and continuing his fight for survival across the fatally damaged space vessel. As well as the single player campaign there are also new “Survivor” modes and two level onlione co-op play.John Dennis, Head of Design at Team17 Software added:
“As the second adventure in the Alien Breed trilogy, we’re really happy with how much Assault adds to an already strong gameplay formula. We’ve got some awesomely destructive new weapons to purchase and upgrade, two monstrous new boss battles, and some really exciting set-pieces. Add to this our brand-new Survivor Mode, which pits players against relentless waves of enemies in either single-player or two-player co-op, and the stress-inducing, claustrophobic experience of moving ever deeper into a space station infested with blood-thirsty aliens, and you get a very strong offering that we hope will please both Alien Breed fans and players new to the game alike.”
