Now as many of you may have seen, countless gaming websites are running rampant with the news that Sega is listing Gearbox’s Colonial Marines for release in the first quarter of 2009. I recently spoke with Sega PR to get this news confirmed:

“Those dates are from the current UK retail release schedule which gets sent out weekly (as I understand it) apparently its been Q1 09 on there for quite a while so it’s a little surprising people have suddenly gone “look its still there!” but yes that is the current ”˜date’ for ACM.”

I’m just waiting back on confirmation whether it is of the fiscal year or standard calendar. So I’ll update when I get a reply.

First quarter of 2009 and still no official video trailer? Even Teaser? It's gonna be an epic failure.

Le Celticant... I seem to remember seeing a teaser trailer a while back. A facehugger jumping out of an egg at the end and such? Maybe I am wrong...

Thanks Hicks for digging deeper into this.

@Mikey: Yeah, but it wasn't officially ever released. In fact it was leaked and GBX wasn't happy about it.

SEGA has got to give us some new media soon. I'm getting worried that they're covering up for a horrible game. :S

A couple of weeks ago I went to Gamestop and they had a binder with a list of upcoming games for the Xbox 360. Aliens Colonial Marines was listed as May (can't remember exact day) 2009. I'll have to check and see if its still there next time I go.

Visceral_Mass · **Reply #8 on: Jan 09, 2009, 12:44:26 PM**

Just checked Gamestop's website and it lists the release date as June 1, 2009.

Xhan, it's on more than one website now. Stop being an ass. konradski: That's just a preview from a magazine we've already posted details on. But thanks for the second link.

Xhan · **Reply #14 on: Jan 09, 2009, 08:39:50 PM**

Dude, it's REQUOTATIONS all stemming from ONE site. None of the other sites have any NEW or DIFFERENT quotes or information. ALL of the reports stem from videogames.com, ONE site. All the other sites did not receive packets or a call or any other other separate or unique-to-them info. period. A spade is a spade.
