Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is officially coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 in Autumn 2026, developers Cold Iron Studios and Daybreak Game Company confirmed. It seems fighting off swarms of acid-blooded xenomorphs on the go is officially back on the itinerary, provided you don't mind a slightly delayed deployment.

The co-op shooter is scheduled to launch on other major platforms slightly earlier on August 25, 2026, according to the developers. While other platforms get a late-summer start, Nintendo's upcoming console will receive its version a few months later as the autumn chill sets in. It is not the first high-profile title lined up for the system, following previous leaks of other heavy hitters like Diablo 4 on the Switch 2.
The details
- Other platforms release: August 25, 2026
- Nintendo Switch 2 release: Autumn 2026
- Developers: Cold Iron Studios and Daybreak Game Company
Until then, players looking to team up against the galaxy's cleanest dental records will just have to keep their motion trackers calibrated and their autumn calendars clear.
