Aliens: Colonial Marines has slipped into 2013. Elusive little thing isn’t it? Much like those slimy xenomorphs the sci-fi horror series is known for.

Colonial Marines was set for release this Spring, which has now come and gone, and was then pushed back for a Fall 2012 release. Publisher Sega have announced today that it is once again pushing the release of the Gearbox Software developed shooter into early 2013: February 12, 2013, to be exact.

Moreover, the publisher has yet to announce a release date for the marines’ Wii U counterpart, which was and continues to be even more elusive than the game’s release, with Sega stating “a release date for the announced Wii U version will be revealed at a later time” in its press release.
