Steam News announces the release of Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000 very shortly after plans to revive Rebellion's first AvP shooter were revealed. The game carries a $4.99 USD price tag, and as noted earlier it does not include multiplayer support, which will be added by a future free patch. Word is:

Aliens Versus Predator Classic 2000 features the Colonial Marine, Alien and Predator Campaigns and the frenetic single-player Skirmish mode from the original title: Alien Versus Predator Gold Edition, which was released to massive acclaim in 2000.

Alien Versus Predator Classic 2000 has been updated to run on modern PCs and laptops using DirectX 9.0c and includes support for Xbox 360 Controller for Windows, however, it does not currently support multi-player.

The three most ferocious species in the universe in a bloodthirsty battle for the ultimate prize: survival. Take your pick: be a Colonial Marine, a Predator or an Alien.
