Story
Despite the story of Aliens: Colonial Marines taking place after the events of the third film in the series, Alien 3, the game is described as a "true sequel" to the 1986 film Aliens and according to Gearbox Software, the game is considered an official part of the Alien franchise's canon by 20th Century Fox. The main character is Corporal Christopher Winter, a Colonial Marine that is part of a search and rescue team sent to investigate the U.S.S. Sulaco in search of Ellen Ripley, Corporal Dwayne Hicks, and the rest of the missing marines who were dispatched to LV-426, as seen in the film Aliens. Many locations and environments from the films such as the planet LV-426, the Sulaco, and the derelict alien spacecraft from Alien will be featured in the game and are said to be meticulously recreated. Gearbox has implied that there may be connections or references to the events of the prequel film Prometheus in the game, stating that they were were able to discuss the film's script with Alien and Prometheus director, Ridley Scott.
