Aliens: Colonial Marines ‘Escape’ mode IS Left 4 Dead

New four-against-four multiplayer revealed

Gearbox Software has unveiled a new four-versus-four multiplayer mode in Colonial Marines, Escape. In Escape, the Marines are charged with fighting their way to a safe zone, while four distinct breeds of Xenomorphs have to stop them. Yep, it’s like Left 4 Dead with Aliens … and that kind of excites me. 

You can watch the trailer above, and get a glimpse of three Xeno classes — the Soldier, Lurker, and Spitter. They pretty much do exactly as their names imply. Marines are efficient in their classification.
