Today, Team17 and Microsoft revealed the Unreal remake of its 1991 Amiga shooter that will be distributed in three parts, spanning an estimated 15 hours of gameplay. The first part will include three, one-hour levels and an additional three-hour, co-op scenario, and is scheduled to hatch on Xbox LIVE Arcade sometime around the holiday season but possibly as soon as October.

Alien Breed Evolution is a top-down shooter inspired by the Alien movies and like the movie, you'll fight hordes of slimy Aliens through a series of chapters. In those chapters, you'll make your way through a derelict ship with plenty of dead people, doing your best not to join them. This course will lead you through progressively worse areas, as you follow in the wake of these monsters.

Team 17, the indie developer responsible for Alien Breed Evolution wanted to make sure we know it's not all fun and games. This trilogy project is said to be "one of the most expensive digital titles to-date," ringing out at about $2.5 million to develop.

Though we didn’t get any hands-on time with the game or even a confirmed date and price, we did manage to get a hold of some screenshots:
