Available from 26th April, the Switch version will feature cross-play with previously released versions on PlayStation and Xbox consoles, as well as PC (Steam).
Pre-orders for the game are now available, as well as a free demo.
"Play with up to two players or AI as you battle through four campaigns to explore the mystery of a new planet, LV-895. Discover what hides in the ruins and caves beneath in this third-person survival shooter set in the Aliens universe," reads the overview on the Switch eShop.
The game was originally released in 2021 to a warm response.
"A short, sharp and fairly shallow take on the famed franchise nevertheless delivers on the full Aliens power fantasy," wrote Vikki in our Aliens: Fireteam Elite review.
Ubitus was recently part of a deal with Microsoft, promising a 10-year partnership to "stream Xbox PC Games as well as Activision Blizzard titles after the acquisition closes".
