Aliens: Colonial Marines is definitely still in development and more information was promised to be revealed in the next couple of months. The good news is that we have heard something new. The bad news is that it's something we were hoping not to hear.
Randy Pitchford told EGM in an interview that the game won't be released this year. Considering the game has been in development and talked about publicly for the last few years, expectations were that it would finally make it out this year.
It sounds like the game has probably undergone significant overhaul. Either that or there's a pretty insane amount of polishing going on. Either way, Aliens: Colonial Marines is likely to look very different to the last time it was seen.
Considering Gearbox is resurrecting Duke Nukem Forver, a game we've been waiting twelve years for, we won't begrudge them adding an extra year to Colonial Marines' development cycle. Early 2012 would be nice, though.
