Rebellion then went on to develop the similarly themed 1999's ''[[Aliens versus Predator (1999 video game)|Aliens versus Predator]]'' for the PC. This was followed by, among others, ''[[Aliens versus Predator 2]]'' and the expansion pack ''[[Aliens versus Predator 2#Aliens versus Predator 2: Primal Hunt|Aliens versus Predator 2: Primal Hunt]]''. In 2003, a real-time strategy game ''[[Aliens Versus Predator: Extinction]]'' was made for the PS2 and Xbox featuring 3 campaign modes for both races as well as humans. It featured several variations of Predators and Aliens seen throughout the films and other forms of media including the famous Predalien. In 2010, Sega released a reboot, ''[[Aliens vs. Predator (2010 video game)|Aliens vs. Predator]]'', a multiplatform first-person shooter also made by Rebellion and tied into the timeline of the live-action films.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sega-australia.com/news/?n=2991|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130202023933/http://www.sega-australia.com/news/?n=2991|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 2, 2013|title=SEGA and Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchangising Announce New Aliens vs. Predator Game |publisher=[[SEGA]]|date=February 11, 2009|access-date=February 12, 2009}}</ref> Both Alien and Predator appear as downloadable characters in ''[[Mortal Kombat X]]'' (2015).

This followed the two initial series of ''[[Aliens (film)|Aliens]]'' that were based on an [[animated television series|animated series]], ''Operation: Aliens'', that was never broadcast. As such, the inclusion of Predator is often considered the 3rd and 4th series of the ''Aliens'' line. This collection includes several Aliens, many of which feature built-in attack features, and Predators, which include removable masks and battle weapons such as spears and missile launchers. The figures generally possess 5 points of articulation, and some include a mini Dark Horse comic book. While the collection as a whole is known as ''Aliens vs. Predator'', the two character types have their own card art that only features the character at hand. An exception would be the ''Aliens vs. Predator'' 2-pack. Since human space marines were included in the initial ''Aliens'' line, the Predator was marketed as an alternative enemy to the Aliens. A figure cardback reads: "The stage is set for the universe's two most ferocious enemies. It's the gruesome and evil Aliens against the big-game hunter Predator. Who will win... the beast or the hunter? Can the Predator stop the evil Aliens before the galaxy is destroyed?!?!?!"<ref>[http://www.dukenostalgia.com/Kscope/Predator/PR_index.html Duke Nostalgia's Predators Page] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080214122859/http://www.dukenostalgia.com/Kscope/Predator/PR_index.html |date=February 14, 2008 }} DukeNostalgia.com.

More figures, including a female Predator and an Alien/Predator/Smash Mason 3-pack, were designed for this series but never released as part of the line. Six sets of Aliens and Predator [[Micro Machines]] were also planned by [[Galoob]] in 1995 but never released. This would have also included the LV-426/Outer World Station Action Fleet Playset. Thanks in part to the research of toy collectors, many photos of these unreleased toys and prototypes have shown up online in recent years.<ref>Cawiezel, Marc H.
