Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 will surprise with deep squad customization

The game director promised that the character customization system would be so flexible that even four medics in one squad would turn out to be completely different from each other.

In Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, character customization and team interaction capabilities will be expanded. Game director Chris Cross is confident that even four medics in one squad will have different builds thanks to the deep customization system.

Cross said in an interview that the differences would be based on the synergy of weapons, damage, and abilities. He gave an example of a medic specializing in poisons, who can set up a healing station that poisons enemies.

The developer stated that the game will offer “an infinite number of ways to coordinate with friends and assemble a squad the way you want.”

At high difficulty levels, players will have to consider friendly fire. Crouching will become a “very important” element of survival to avoid accidentally killing allies.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 will be released in summer 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
