The Aliens co-op shooter that ate up way too much of my time is going bigger for its sequel

I don't have the grand affinity for the Alien franchise that some do, but Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is one of the most exciting announcements this year for me on a personal level. Its predecessor ended up hooking me in far more than I could have anticipated, combining rewarding build decisions with intense action. It's among the best co-op games of its type for my money, one I'd rank up with the likes of Mass Effect 3's multiplayer mode and Helldivers 2. Now, it's coming back, and it's going even bigger than before.
