According to a forum post by SEGA community manager Clumsyorchid, SEGA is to discontinue further title update support for console versions of Aliens VS Predator, despite promises of an upcoming patch back in March.
The news comes only one week after the release of a new multiplayer map pack for Rebellion’s Alien-infested first-person shooter.
Announcing the news, Clumsyorchid wrote on the official SEGA forums:
SEGA has announced that a new downloadable map pack for Rebellion’s Aliens VS Predator will be available in the middle of next week for Xbox 360 and PS3, and will contain four brand new multiplayer maps, as well as new weather types.
A new horror-themed action game called NeverDead was recently unveiled at Konami’s E3 2010 press event, currently in development at Rebellion (Aliens VS Predator) for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
NeverDead is a third-person shooter starring an immortal protagonist fighting against a plague of demons. This hero is able to have his limbs (and even head) severed clean off, only to reattach them and continue the fight using his powers of regeneration.

Rebellion has said today that it will soon release a patch for the recently released Aliens VS Predator, which the studio says is a result of “analysis of player feedback” (the patch, not the game… oh ambiguity…).
Following the release of updates to the PC version of the game, as well as the integration of a dedicated server client, it’s now the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions’ turn, as the studio says:
SEGA and Rebellion have let the word out that a new and updated version of the PS3 multiplayer demo for their upcoming Aliens VS Predator first-person horror-fest is now available on PlayStation Network, fixing the matchmaking problems that saw some players having issues joining matches against their fellow face-eaters online.
The new demo also apparently contains additional functionality, such as the ability to create their own matches and browse for available matches to join. European Marketing Director of SEGA Europe, Gary Knight said in a statement:
Chris Morell on the US PlayStation Blog recently got to speak to Rebellion’s Tim Jones to ask him a few questions (served up by the PlayStation community) regarding the imminent Aliens VS Predator.
Covering queries dealing with the multiplayer and singleplayer modes of the game, the special Hunter Edition, and more, the interview is all wrapped up in a nice video for easy consumption, which you can watch below:
A new video interview with Aliens VS Predator project lead Tim Jones discusses the history of the Aliens VS Predator franchise, the backstory to the new game, the technology powering Rebellion’s latest title, and what this technology has enabled the developers to deliver in terms of atmosphere and authenticity with regards to the respective worlds of Alien/s and Predator.
The interview also has pieces of in-game footage from Aliens VS Predator spliced throughout, some of which you may not have seen before, showing off the visual prowess of what looks to be a mighty game.
You can watch the full interview with Tim Jones below:
Here’s one for you PC fans out there – Rebellion and publisher SEGA have unveiled just what kind of ‘rig’ you’ll need to play the impending Aliens VS Predator when it releases on February 19th in the UK, and February 16th in North America (did I conjugate the word ‘rig’ correctly there?).
Check out the minimum and recommended PC specs for Aliens VS Predator below:
[Updated] Jason Kingsley, CEO Rebellion, has sent out a message: “No-one has been made redundant by Rebellion in more than a decade, and the Derby studio is very much still open while we conduct the review.
“We are currently undergoing a process of consultancy with our staff to get their ideas, and establish the best possible future for the Derby studio.” [End of Update]
It’s being strongly rumoured that the studio formerly known as Core Design (creators of Tomb Raider), and more recently going by the name of Rebellion Derby, has been closed down following the poor reception of Shellshock 2: Blood Trails and Rogue Warrior, both of which had been handled and developed by the studio in some capacity.
Lance Henriksen is no stranger to science-fiction roles, having starred in the Alien film franchise (Aliens, Alien 3 and AVP) and The Terminator.
Whoa, what’s this? Developers Rebellion and publishers SEGA want to give everybody a head start before we begin hunting for their game on the shelves at our local retailers, so they’ve been kind enough to release an image of the Aliens VS Predator box art.
Surprisingly enough, the image contains both an Alien and a Predator, getting ready to VS one another.
Head on down below for a larger image:
A new multiplayer trailer for SEGA and Rebellion’s upcoming Aliens VS Predator has surfaced.
The trailer shows gamers putting the different multiplayer modes through their paces at a Multiplayer Gamers Day. Enjoy the action between the three species below:
In SEGA and Rebellion’s upcoming Aliens VS Predator, three factions will fight for survival and supremacy in the dark, dank, metallic corridors we’ve come to associate with science fiction based media, ever since the Alien series of movies years ago.
Now, in this new trailer for Aliens VS Predator, we see the kind of terror that a single Alien can instil in its victims, as it uses it agile abilities to make quick work of a Marine, and even a mighty Predator.
Watch below:
The first trailer for Aliens VS Predator featured the premise of the game – three separate species are hunting each other down in a battle for supremacy, or just plain survival.
This second Aliens VS Predator trailer shows the plight of the lowly Marine grunt, who is stuck between the vicious claws and whipping tail of the Alien, and the technology and tribal brutality of the Predator.
Who will come out on top? Watch the second Aliens VS Predator trailer below to get a clue:
A fresh trio of screenshots have been released for the next entry to the Alien VS Predator game series, this time from Rebellion (who worked on the original AVP) and SEGA.
The shots reveal quite a bit of detail, although they look a little doctored for promotional purposes… decide for yourself below:
