The development team at Gearbox is offering fans of the upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines a chance to see how the concept art of Hadley’s Hope is turned into an actual game environment in a new trailer.

The clip is interesting because it allows players to see how much work is required to create a relatively small piece of a modern video game.

The new Aliens game will offer both single-player and multiplayer components and is not connected to the new Prometheus movie linked to the same universe.

Gearbox and SEGA plan to launch Aliens: Colonial Marines on the PC, the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii U.

The game was supposed to arrive during the fall of this year, but a delay has pushed the game to February 12, 2013.
