SEGA and Gearbox Software have released a story trailer for next year’s licensed FPS affair, Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Essentially, it serves only as a primer to the events of the game proper; showing how this latest batch of smart gun wielding unfortunates ended up on the USS Sulaco.

As you might expect, it doesn’t show a great wealth of gameplay, but it does show off the in-game cut-scenes and of course, the titular face-chomping meance.

Catch it after the break.

Aliens: Colonial Marines is due to release worldwide in both standard and collectors edition guises for 360, PC, PS3 & Wii U on February 12th, 2013.
