Jackson’s Star Pack: Official ‘Alien: Romulus’ Crossover DLC Coming to Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2
Following our recent deep dives confirming that Alien: Romulus 2 has officially avoided the chopping block, the Weyland-Yutani corporate ledger is expanding into the gaming realm. While film fans await Rain Carradine’s next cinematic destination, they will soon be able to deploy with her exact survival gear on the virtual frontlines.
Cold Iron Studios and Daybreak Game Company recently dropped a brand-new Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Co-Op Showcase Trailer, cementing an August 25, 2026 global release date for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a newly confirmed Nintendo Switch 2 version landing later this autumn. Alongside the core tactical features, the developers officially unveiled “Rain’s Jackson’s Star Pack“—a premium day-one crossover DLC entirely themed around the 2024 hit horror film.
Bringing Fede Álvarez’s Vision to Tactical Co-Op
While the upgraded 40th Anniversary Premium Edition of the game highlights a classic 1986 Aliens outfit for Ellen Ripley, this specialized standalone pack anchors itself directly within the corporate mining colony aesthetic of Romulus. Instead of typical military armor, players can access film-authentic gear tailored for intense hive survival.
The crossover pack introduces key thematic items straight to your marine customization menus:
- The “Colony” Marine Outfit: A complete cosmetic armor set modeled meticulously after Rain Carradine’s iconic utility jacket and rugged protective gear seen during the opening sequences on Jackson’s Star.
- Modified Cryo Pulse Rifle: A specialized variant of the classic Colonial Marine weapon. This rifle comes equipped with a custom cryo underbarrel attachment, allowing players to freeze swarming Xenomorphs in mid-stride and shatter them for massive tactical bonus damage.
- Weyland-Yutani Station Aesthetics: The bundle also features exclusive Weyland-Yutani station decals, unique weapon colorways, and character perks designed to complement the game’s newly expanded four-player co-op squad mechanics.
Launch Details and Pricing
The Alien: Romulus crossover DLC will drop concurrently with the base game on August 25, 2026, retailing separately for $9.99.
