Cold Iron's next title is targeting a 2025 release. There's no guarantee that it's gonna be an Aliens game though.

all they need do is make the game more open world like helldivers 2 and have some kind of galactic bug outbreak and infestations that the Colonial Marines react to because THE COMPANY just has to have their favourite xenomorph bio weapon. :D

According to their online open jobs profile, they are hiring staff for a UE4 third-person shooter, "mid-market (A-AA), product", "targeted for release in 2025 across PC and consoles." (see below) If they're still hiring I doubt they are anywhere near alpha let alone beta.

No news on the socials since 2023's new CEO.

The only news I could find on this project is that they are working with Toadman Interactive under EG7 (Enad Global 7)/Daybreak for "Cold Iron’s exciting new multiplayer action shooter based on a major global IP license." There has been no info released afaik for what "New Game" is or what licence it is.

https://www.enadglobal7.com/press-releases/daybreak-to-publish-an-exciting-new-multiplayer-action-shooter-from-cold-iron-studios/

Fun fact from above release: Cold Iron was formerly part of Daybreak studios, but was not acquired when EG7 bought them, becoming their own studio and going on to produce AFE.

Edit:
Digging through EH7's financial statements for the last year they state they have invested USD~$17M "EG7 has made a total investment of SEK 173.8 million in Cold Iron LLC’s new game" of which USD~$1M was co-development costs from Toadman Interactive.

"Cold Iron - The development is proceeding according to plan and budget, and the game is planned for release mid-2025. " so yeah, they're working on something. They're just not talking about what it is.

To my mind, it's not an Aliens franchise. From a marketing perspective they would get a multiplier effect by offering a release package timed for the Romulus movie release for maximum hype with whatever they have to go with, even if it's just concept art or a teaser. Much like 2K/Borderlands tried - the hype can be negative or positive depending on the association. In this case I think it would be strongly positive.

That they did not, on top of good box office success and fan favour, implies strongly to me the two are not connected.

Not happening bud..

The mining colony in Romulus was looking like a pretty cool place for a game. It's an oppressed city of laborers with mines underground. Perfect set up in my opinion to set the game immediately after Romulus' ending when Weyland Yutani may have no choice but to arm the workers.[spoiler/]

Was one or the better fan films, though most were very good. I also remember the quarantine ship. Those were the best.

The leaks look terrible tbh, i don't want them to go through with what they planned for the second game

If the matchmaking is as bad as Aliens:FTE it will be dead in a month after launch anyway,
