In this game, you can…
  • crawl seamlessly across floors, walls, and ceilings, slip through vents, and pounce out of the dark to shred a whole room before anyone turns around.

  • play a mode where one random player becomes the Alien, and anyone who dies respawns on the Alien team as the infestation spreads.
  • replay the same events through three campaigns, then realize that "mystery blip" on your motion tracker was you in another species' story.
  • join 2v2v2 matches where Marines, Aliens, and Predators all fight at once, so every encounter turns into a three-way ambush.
