SEGA Pushes Aliens/Empire: Total War News

First quarter 2009 for Colonial Marines and the return of Total War; busy start to 2009 unveiled...

SEGA Europe has today released an updated release schedule for the next few months and into 2009, which confirms that Aliens: Colonial Marines and Empire: Total War will now make an appearance during the first quarter of next year.

Set after the events of the 1986 movie, Colonial Marines returns players to the alien planet LV426 and chaos proceeds to ensue. Currently in development at Gearbox Software, the game had originally been announced for a release in 2009, before SEGA re-scheduled it for the end of this year. Colonial Marines and Empire: Total War, the latest instalment in The Creative Assembly's massively successful strategy franchise, are now expected to launch before the end of March.

Both games join Alpha Protocol and Madworld in the early months of 2009.

SEGA's line up for the rest of this year includes the likes of Yakuza 2 (which finally arrives in September), the return of Golden Axe, Beijing 2008, Space Siege, and Sonic: Unleashed - which hopefully marks a return to form for the supersonic mascot when it hit stores this November.

I got a funny feeling that this may turn out just like the other aliens:colonial marines a no show! which will really piss me off along with other alien fans,dont get me wrong i love AVP, but would really like this game

Listen I really think they need to come out with this game first due to the fact of well what if we do not like AVP ok what then you are not going to put out Alien:colonial marines. I mean ths game is already done why don't you guys just send it out for us to see what it is like and then when you guys get finished with AVP since you guys are not even done making it we might get it if we like that alien game.

Well considering Aliens: Colonial Marines wont be out till 2010, it's an easy choice surely?

I just saw that this game was coming out when I was looking through an Xbox 360 magazine. I think I'm a little torn on which to save my money on, Aliens: Colonial Marines, or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2(By the way, that's coming out November tenth of this year!!!:)!!!)

I hope the rumours of SEGA pulling funding arent true - a dedicated Aliens game is much better then this AvP crap.

I can't believe this, thought the no show was suspcious.  Why can't Gearbox get stuff out in time?
