Alien Breed Trilogy

London, UK, March 29 ^th 2011 – In 2009, Team17’s legendary Alien Breed franchise was reborn with a full next-generation makeover. Proving highly popular with the fans, the three titles – Impact, Assault and Descent were celebrated for their intense top down combat, thrilling set pieces, co-op action and stunning visuals. Now, Team17 are proud to announce the release of all three titles as a packaged compilation, now available on Steam!

The Alien Breed™ Trilogy resurrects a much revered franchise with an epic narrative, swarms of intelligent alien enemies, high-impact weaponry and rich environments; all implemented with superb technology in a state-of-the-art gaming experience, developed using Epic Games' Unreal® Engine 3. In addition to the thrilling single-player campaign and “Survivor” modes, the games offer relentless, action-packed, two-player online co-operative battle modes.

"While it was exciting to be in the vanguard of episodically delivered digital titles, there's something great about seeing the Alien Breed ™ Trilogy get released as a collection,” says John Dennis, Head of Design at Team17 Software Ltd. “Having all three titles in one trilogy package makes for an incredible experience, and if gripping, survival-horror, single and multiplayer action is your thing, then having all three games together totally delivers on that score."
