Built using the Unreal 3 engine, the second chapter in the downloadable shooter trilogy will be available from September 22.
The game casts players as an engineer named Conrad, who must battle his way through hordes of deadly extraterrestrials and repair the engines of his damaged spacecraft.
"As the second adventure in the Alien Breed trilogy, we're really happy with how much Assault adds to an already strong gameplay formula," said design manager John Dennis.
"We've got some awesomely destructive new weapons to purchase and upgrade, monstrous new boss battles, and some really exciting set-pieces."
In addition to new core content, the game introduces a Survivor mode and a two player online co-op battle mode.
A PS3 version has also been confirmed, though a release date is yet to be revealed.
