Aliens vs Predator is a first-person shooter developed by Rebellion Developments and published by Sega, released for the PlayStation 3 in 2010. It is a reboot of the Aliens versus Predator franchise and features three interwoven single-player campaigns, each played from a different perspective: the Colonial Marine, the Alien, and the Predator.
Each campaign offers a distinct gameplay style. The Marine campaign emphasizes survival horror and traditional FPS combat; the Alien campaign focuses on stealth, speed, and melee attacks; and the Predator campaign centers on gadget-based stealth and powerful ranged attacks. The game also includes various multiplayer modes, allowing players to compete in species-based matches or team battles across themed maps.
Critical reception was mixed. While the concept of three playable species and adherence to the source material received praise, critics cited uneven campaign quality, outdated visuals, and balance issues in multiplayer. On Metacritic, the PlayStation 3 version holds average scores, reflecting a divisive response to its gameplay execution and technical performance.
Aliens vs Predator was released on multiple platforms simultaneously, with the PS3 version offering the same core content but no platform-exclusive features.
