Gearbox Shelves Aliens Title Amid Layoffs

"Pitchford has reiterated to Shacknews that production on Aliens is still ongoing, though he did not go into detail on the status of the project, only stating that to say it has "halted" is an "inaccurate characterization. Aliens isn't canned," said Pitchford. "We've made some transformative changes and yes, that's meant some talent changes, but that's not the real story. The true relevance of the story will actually be irrelevant until we release our next game, at which time I hope there will be a lot of interest in what we've done that can produce such results."

Hmm that reads more like a minor setback than been shelved, or did you post before that sites updated info? Tbh a minor delay for improved staffing might actually benefit the game long term, with L4D doing well I dought a project such as this will get much down time, since it's also a co-op based game. :)
 
AAAGH, please no. Let this game rock. This is my game of the decade if it turns out as good as I'm hoping.
