The shooter Alien vs. Predator was brought back to life for the second time.
The respective bestsellers are announced on the Xbox at regular intervals. The last brings a bigger surprise, namely that the game is in 1st place Alien vs Predator. It’s over ten years old at 12 and was originally released on the Xbox 360.
How does a 12 year old game become a bestseller?
There are probably two particularly important reasons for the revival of the shooter: On the other hand, a sale is currently underway and you can get it for 4.99 euros instead of 14.99 euros. In contrast, Prey (2022), the fifth installment in the Predator film series, should have motivated many people to buy the shooter. Of course, Xbox backwards compatibility makes it possible to play the game.
The game was first released on February 16, 2010 and is a first-person shooter that offers you three complete campaigns. In one of them you play as a Space Marine, the next focuses mainly on aliens and the last on Predators.
The game also features a multiplayer mode and even a co-op mode where you and your friends can fight your way through hordes of monsters of the same name.

Not the only return
Even though Alien vs. Predator caused mixed reactions upon its release, there are still a few fans who made this comeback possible again. It’s far from the only “retro” game celebrating its revival on Xbox. Again and again, an older game climbs to the top, especially during a sale. More recently it was also the classics Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Skate.
What do you think of this little retro wave? Do you accept these offers directly?
