Episode One of Team 17's upcoming Xbox Live Arcade shooter Alien Breed Evolution is officially going to arrive on December 16th, according to an official press release sent out by the developer today. Picking up the remains of the classic overhead Commodore Amiga shooter, Alien Breed Evolution will cost 800 Microsoft Points.
The game features incredible fidelity and attention to detail throughout, awesome audio effects and an engaging single player narrative. The pulsating story takes the game's hero through an intense ride through a stricken craft, onto a mysterious, ageing hulk ship and beyond.

In addition to the explosive single player story, the game also offers a relentless, action packed, two-player co-operative battle mode for online and offline local action with a number of difficulty modes to challenge all skills.
The game will also be arriving on PC and PlayStation 3 early in 2010. Check out a fresh batch of images below.

Bryn says: I actually met up with some of the Team 17 guys at the Eurogamer Expo in Leeds and took a few minutes to get some hands-on with ABE. Being a long-time fan of the Amiga games, it was a blast to get to grips with this next-gen incarnation. Fans of co-op shooters should definitely check this one out.
