I've been hearing whispers over the past few days pointing to this, and I'm pleased to say they turned out to be true. A multiplayer demo for the upcoming Aliens vs Predator title will simultaneously arrive on Steam, Xbox LIVE, and the PlayStation Network tomorrow February 4th.
You'll have access to all three species for this demo and it will include only one map (Refinery) and one game mode. (Deathmatch) The Colonial Marine, the Predator, and the Alien all have their specific strengths and weaknesses, and the team feels they've struck a nice balance with this mode.
“Multiplayer was a huge part of our original AVP game back in 1999, and we’ve kept the spirit of that classic experience in creating the multiplayer for our new Aliens vs Predator. With the demo now gamers can get to grips with each of the three iconic species so they can hone their skills and be ready for when the game launches and battle commences,” said Jason Kingsley, CEO and Creative Director of Rebellion.
The final game will ship with seven multiplayer modes in total: Infestation, Survivor, Predator Hunt, Domination, Deathmatch, Species Deathmatch and Mix Species Deathmatch. Aliens vs. Predator is scheduled for a February 16th release in North America and February 19th release in Europe.
See below for three new screenshots from the Xbox 360 version of the multiplayer demo.

I just tried to grab it and it won't start installing. I can wait until tomorrow I suppose.
Edit - Never mind, had to restart Steam.
