Alien Breed 2: Assault

London, UK- September 22nd, 2010 – Alien Breed 2: Assault , Team 17’s latest killer title has been hotly anticipated since its predecessors, Alien Breed™: Evolution and Alien Breed™: Impact, were launched across Xbox™ LIVE Arcade, PlayStation®Network for PlayStation®3, and for PC via Steam. Thankfully, the wait is now over; gamers across the world will now have a chance to play the next chapter in this high-budget, high-quality series when Alien Breed 2: Assault becomes available for purchase today on Xbox™ LIVE Arcade and PC via Steam.

Alien Breed 2: Assault expands on the territory covered by Impact/Evolution and adds several new elements to the mix. With a brand new “Survivor” mode for one or two players, new weapons, a currency-based weapons and items upgrade system, choreographed set pieces and heart-stopping boss battles, this game is highly entertaining; a more expansive and exploration based addition to the series. The haunting and atmospheric soundtrack, combined with stunning visuals (using Unreal® Engine 3) round off a must-have title for shooter fans.

A demo is to be available on both platforms from launch; a purpose-designed, action-packed free trial called “The Prologue”, which also features a time-limited “Survivor” mode map.
