This 12 year old Xbox 360 game is one of the current Xbox best sellers

The Alien vs. Predator shooter has been brought to life for a second time.

The respective bestsellers are announced on the Xbox at regular intervals. The latest brings a bigger surprise, namely the game is in 1st place Alien VS Predator. This is over a decade old at 12 years old and 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 running and you can get it for 4.99 euros instead of 14.99 euros. On the other hand, Prey (2022), the fifth part of 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 a Space Marine, the next focuses on the Aliens and the last one on the Predators.

The game also offers a multiplayer and even a co-op mode in which you and your friends can shoot your way through hordes of the monsters from the title.

From the old to the new: Here you can see the first trailer for the latest announced alien shooter Dark Descent:

Not the only comeback

Even if Alien vs. Predator caused mixed reactions to its release, it still has some fans who have made this comeback possible again. It’s far from the only “retro” game celebrating its revival on the Xbox. Again and again an older game climbs to the top, especially during a sale. Most recently, these were also the classics Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Skate.

What do you think of this little retro wave? Do you accept such offers directly?
