129w ago - Team17 Software Ltd Head of Design John Dennis has announced today alongside a video trailer that Alien Breed 2: Assault hits PlayStation Network on Tuesday.

To quote: With Alien Breed 2: Assault launching on the U.S. PlayStation Store on Tuesday December 7th, we'd like to share a handy list of things you may not know about the game.

In a laboratory, you might see whole other worlds under the lens of a microscope. In Qlione Evolve, you'll attempt to subsist in similar, but much more dangerous, ecosystems.





It's a microbe-eat-microbe world in the liquid spaces of Qlione Evolve. As a tiny inhabitant in this microscopic top-view 2D world, your humble attempts to evolve will be in constant jeopardy as you are attacked (even shot at!) by the other denizens.

Luckily, your strange little creature can spawn bombs and traps that push and pull the surrounding liquid environment, making for turbulent physics-based battles. This is the unprecedented...
