Previews and Concept Art for AvP:2
This game is simply being called AvP,the sequal. Gamespot.com, Ign.com, Gamespy.com, and Gamecenter.com have all posted previews, along with three pictures of concept art. The information is pretty much the same everywhere because Fox is not releasing much new info on sequal. However, we should be getting some new screenshots in about a month and that might come with some new information. Also, at stomped.com AvP and AvP 2 producer David Stalker was interviewed and talked about some of the editing features that will be included in the sequal.

"Aliens Versus Predator Gold Edition, is definitely not at dead title. Why? Because Fox Interactive is working with Rebellion to release a series of free downloadable levels to the public. They will be available for public download just as soon as they are finished being worked on.
Recent events like Leadworks, designed by Leinen Software have shown that the title, is still going strong, and Fox is going to fuel that fire by getting these levels out to the hardcore gamers, for free download. If you don't have the Gold edition you are going to want to get it so that you can join your friends in all of the carnage on these soon to be released maps."
