You might recognize the name Team17 from the title screen of the latest XBLA Worms title: Worms 2 Armageddon. You might also recognize the PC game Alien Breed, which was a huge part of my childhood, and partnered with the Alien movie to torture me with endless nightmares.

So what is Alien Breed like? Remember Zombies ate my neighbors? Well, add aliens, flamethrowers, and hi-tech locales, and you’ll be close to describing Alien Breed Evolution, the current generation remake of the original. Follow the break for a full press release and the first ever screenshots for the game.

Team17 returns to it’s roots with a stunning remake of Alien Breed.

Team17 are absolutely delighted to formally confirm the return of one of its most cherished properties in ALIEN BREED EVOLUTION.

The Unreal3 powered next-gen title, part of Team17’s quality, independent digital line-up is a drop-dead gorgeous “retro-modern” remake of the game that helped Team17 burst onto the Amiga scene 18years ago.

Featuring an action packed, tense single player adventure and an absolute blast of a co-op game, Alien Breed Evolution helps raise the production bar on download-only titles and underlines Team17’s re-energised momentum since deciding to become an independent publisher in the digital distribution era.

Video footage, more shots, details and platform confirmations will be forthcoming later in the summer.

I’m a sucker for anything isometric, so if there’s online play, you better believe I’ll be blasting some aliens out there in internet world.
