Aliens: Colonial Marines has been delayed to Autumn this year, Sega has announced.

The delay was first revealed by a new trailer, which you can see below, which featured the vague release window of “Autumn 2012″, as opposed to the previous window of Spring 2012.

The delay was confirmed by publisher Sega, who said:

Aliens: Colonial Marines is a process of creativity and invention and those don’t necessarily follow the structure of an assembly line. While setting clear goals, deadlines and predictions is helpful, they are often subjective. We don’t want to sacrifice the creative process just for the sake of following a blue print. We prefer to have the creative discovery shape that blue print because our goal is to make a great game, and we are prioritizing this goal over the previously targeted date.

Check out the new trailer, entitled “Contact”, below. Aliens: Colonial Marines will release on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, 3DS and Wii U.
