Does Your Old Character Carry Over to AFE2?
Old saves and custom player characters do not carry over; returning story characters and redesigned class concepts are separate. Source checked.
No. The supplied community and interview context indicates that old saves and custom player characters do not carry over into Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2. References to “returning characters” mean story characters or redesigned class concepts, not save transfer.
Expect a fresh progression start
For the practical question—whether an old save or self-made Marine moves to the sequel—the supplied evidence points to no. Community answers summarize the position as “nothing carries over,” and the sequel uses new class and attachment systems. It is therefore safest to plan for fresh progression rather than prepare an old profile for import.
Returning content is a separate question
Previews and interviews may mention familiar roles or returning story characters, but that describes game content. It is not a promise to move player levels, equipment, cosmetics or a custom Marine. A familiar name or concept is therefore not evidence that existing account data will be imported.
What is confirmed
Community answers summarized the transfer position as “nothing carries over.”
The sequel uses new class and attachment systems, supporting a fresh progression start.
Media discussion of familiar roles and returning characters does not describe player-data migration.
Limits and current status
The supplied official site does not publish a dedicated save-transfer FAQ, so the conclusion is medium-confidence rather than a direct official quote.
