SAN MATEO and HOLLYWOOD, CA — Twentieth Century FOX L&M's Wireless Entertainment Group, Sorrent, a leading mobile entertainment publisher, and Verizon Wireless, today announced the launch of ALIENS: UnleashedTM, a first-person shooter that follows a thrilling, original storyline conceived from the "ALIENS" movie franchise.

This new game takes gamers away from their comfort zone and plants them in the middle of an alien-outbreak in New Quantico. ALIENS: Unleashed features first-person fighting with authentic sounds of combat, the choice of nine exclusive Colonial Marine weapons, and a riveting plot to defend the human outpost, New Quantico, from acid-bleeding ALIENS.
