Well I just got off the phone with one of the guys at Prodos gaming. Here is what we spoke about -
The initial release will be before the end of 2013.They're looking at an initial expansion wave of up to a dozen new models in the first quarter (I think he said quarter) of 2014.
It'll be a boxed release very similar to Space Hulk. It'll be with a board and you'll be able to play it in a spaceship environment but there's also plenty of potential to do big battles on general terrain ala Warhammer.
They've got the license for the Alien/vs/Predator movies and the EU so we'll be seeing plenty of variants of the Aliens, Predators and Marines. If it's cool and people want to see, Prodos will probably be making it. So there's potential for vehicles (Powerloader and APC anyone?!)
No license for Prometheus.
It'll be story driven with a rulebook to come out so it'll be scenario based. The events of the game itself are set between Alien and Aliens.
It can be played solo or multiplayer. It's based on the same game mechanics engine as the other Prodos game Warzone Resurrected.
They'll be Prodos sanctioned events/tournaments. They'll be at the game conventions and I believe he said they'll do an inaugural event to celebrate the release but the signal started to falter there.
They'll be named characters/units for you to use.
A lot of information will be released in the next 5 or 6 days via their Facebook page including the price of the set. I'll be popping down to meet the guys to play the game in the next 3 or so weeks so I'll have an impressions article done for you guys.
If anyone has any questions, please let me know and I'll be in touch with Prodos to get your questions answered ASAP.

Any chance you can (gently) press them for info on whether or not we'll be seeing any Giger or Winston Aliens? I asked them on another forum and all I could get was that the ADI one is (apparently) referred to as an "Infant Warrior".
They'll be different variants from the movies and EU - including one of the Aliens from the old AvP Arcade Game. Wouldn't say which one though.
