Due to fan outcry and internet rage you'll be seeing female characters in the upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines.

You’ll be able to play Aliens: Colonial Marines as a female character, across both the co-op campaign and the multiplayer, Gearbox has announced.

The decision is a turnaround as playable female characters were not originally included in the game, despite the central role female characters have played in the movies. Internet outrage and a few thousand signatures quickly helped Gearbox change its mind.

"We realized some people were starting to feel bad,” said Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford during a panel at PAX Prime this weekend. “We exist to entertain people.” He then went on to unveil the character herself, Jennifer Running.

"I want everybody to be clear that there are playable females in both the mulitplayer and the campaign," said Pitchford.
