The first episode of Team 17’s (Worms) Alien Breed Evolution will become available on Xbox LIVE in two weeks time, and to celebrate, the developer has released a mess of screenshots and a few trailers for you to gawk at.

Alien Breed Evolution (Episode 1) is a re-imagining of Team 17’s classic alien breed top-down corridor shooter, Alien Breed, which released in 1991 to great acclaim. Now, 18 years later, gamers will be able to get their hands on the next entry to the franchise on December 16th on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for the measly sum of 800 MS Points.

After looking over the following screenshots, and watching the two included videos, you’ll understand why that amount of Space Bucks is so measly.

While the game is currently exclusive to the Xbox 360, it’ll become available soon enough on PC and PS3 next year, and features singleplayer and cooperative play while using Unreal Engine technology to raise “the quality and production bar for original digital download titles.”

Take it away, screenshots and videos:
