Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2's Nintendo Switch 2 Version Delayed to Early 2027
Cold Iron Studios, developer of the recently released four-player co-op PvE sequel Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, has announced that the Nintendo Switch 2 version has been pushed back to early 2027. It was originally planned to ship this month.
Cold Iron Studios, creators of the recently launched Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, have revealed that the Nintendo Switch 2 edition of their game will not launch this year. The company had initially scheduled a December release but has since decided to postpone it to early 2027. After extensive discussion, the development team concluded that an additional year would provide the best outcome for the Switch 2 hardware.
In a statement, Cold Iron expressed their gratitude for fans' understanding of the delay. Meanwhile, the studio remains dedicated to refining Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 into the most exceptional multi-player experience. This situation is not unique, as another major third-party title, IO Interactive's 007: First Light, is also delayed for the Nintendo Switch 2 until the same timeframe.
Critics have given the game a solid 7 out of 10 on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms, praising its co-op gameplay as a fun diversion for players seeking a shared shooting experience.
