ESRB Leak Reveals Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 — Rated M and Listed for PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC
Good news for Alien fans: an ESRB listing appears to have revealed Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, though the page was taken down shortly after it was spotted. The listing showed a Mature rating and a few basic details, and the link now returns a 404 error.
What leaked
According to the briefly live ESRB page, a sequel titled Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 was listed and rated. However, the listing was removed and currently returns the 404 error mentioned above. Still, the cached information that circulated before the takedown is concrete: the title, rating, publisher attribution, and platform targets were visible.
Rating details
The ESRB entry gave the game a M for Mature rating. Specifically, the rating cited “Blood and Gore, Strong Language, and Violence.” Those content descriptors are what you’d expect from an Aliens game, and they were explicitly listed on the now-removed ESRB page.
Platforms and publisher
Per the listing, the sequel was shown for PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X. Notably, the entry did not list PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, which suggests a current-gen focus. Additionally, Daybreak Game Company — the parent company that owns Cold Iron Studios — was named as the publisher on the ESRB page.
The original game
For context, Aliens: Fireteam Elite launched in 2021 from Cold Iron Studios as a co-op third-person shooter in the vein of Left 4 Dead. Critics were mixed, as reflected on review aggregator pages like OpenCritic, while players responded more positively: the game holds a “Very Positive” rating on Steam with over 13,000 reviews.
Our review summed up the core feeling well:
“while [Aliens: Fireteam Elite is] trying to stand on the shoulders of giants — Left 4 Dead and Aliens itself — it can’t quite make the climb.”
That said, many players have enjoyed the game’s intense, satisfying combat.
What we don’t know
At the moment, the ESRB listing is the only concrete source pointing to a sequel. Therefore, official details like a release date, gameplay changes, campaign structure, cross-play support, or additional platforms remain unconfirmed. For now, we simply have the title, the rating descriptors, the publisher listing, and the current-gen platform targets from the removed ESRB entry.
In short: the ESRB leak hints that Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 exists and is aimed at modern platforms, but we’ll need an official announcement to confirm anything more. Stay tuned — and yes, keep those pulse rifles charged.
