Predator is the fifth game in the Alien vs. As with previous titles, it features three campaigns, one for each race/faction (the Predators, the Aliens and the Colonial Marines).

These campaigns are separate in terms of individual plot and gameplay, but form one overlapping storyline.Īliens vs. Predator takes place sometime after Alien 3 on the colonized planet BG-386, a forested world covered in dense jungle and ancient Yautja ruins. Having discovered these ruins, the Weyland-Yutani Corporation has established a research center near the mining colony Freya's Prospect, from which they begin investigating the ruins in the hopes of uncovering the secrets of both the Yautja's advanced technology and the Xenomorphs they once hunted on the planet. The company's scientists quickly begin breeding their own Drones for experimentation, often using innocent colonists as hosts or victims in their tests.Īs the research continues, the scientists discover a vast underground Yautja temple.ĭuring the course of their exploration, Weyland-Yutani scientists find and capture a millenia-old Xenomorph Queen that had been held prisoner by the Yautja to serve as a source of Xenomorph prey.

Convinced that it contains the weapons technology the company so craves, project leader Karl Bishop Weyland orders the temple opened and its secrets plundered.

However, upon accessing the sacred site, a powerful energy pulse knocks out the research facility above, unleashing the Xenomorph test subjects and triggering a catastrophic infestation at Freya's Prospect. The incident attracts the attention of not only the Colonial Marines, but also the Yautja, who travel to BG-386 to ensure the secrets of their technology do not fall into human hands.
