As part of the build up to the Aliens: Fireteam Elite DLC, “Pathogen,” the game’s official Twitter account has released exciting new information. Players will finally be able to fight a Xenomorph Queen.

In the final mission of “The Only Way to Be Sure” campaign, players face a traditional Xenomorph Queen, but the goal is to survive and escape. This will be the first time players get to test their combat skills against the legendary creature, though it will be a Pathogen Queen rather than a traditional one.

Details about the fight are still few, but the graphic does include some interesting information:

• Pathogen Queen doesn’t produce Ovomorphs (Xeno eggs)
• Protective armor is more extensive than typical Xenomorphs
• The tail appears to have enhanced offensive abilities
• Only 4.25 meters tall, smaller than a traditional Queen
