SEGA announces Aliens: Infestation for Nintendo DS

By Jack Taylor – 20 July 2011

SEGA has revealed their new series of Aliens games will be making its way to the Nintendo DS system this September.

It was previously announced that Gearbox Software would be developing Aliens: Colonial Marines for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, which is due to launch next spring.

A version of the title was also shown for the Wii U at E3 2011 and is confirmed to be in the early stages of development.

Before that, though, Gearbox is collaborating with WayForward Technologies on Aliens: Infestation, a Nintendo DS title due to launch in all regions in September.

Described as a 2D side-scroller in the style of Metroid and Castlevania, with an arcade feel to it, the title is being developed separately to the others though is part of the Aliens series' "expanded universe".

Surely that's old news by now...
