The game doesn't really do much in the way of explaining anything, and this extends to the new types of aliens introduced. So the game is set on Hadley's Hope after the events of the film, for some reason the developers elected to totally ignore the ending of the movie where it was essentially nuked. So following that logic of disregarding source material there's still aliens in the colony, but then there are also several new types of aliens as well. There aren't any evil scientists working for any evil corporations and there aren't any other forms of alien life for them to use as hosts so we're left with no real reason for these new types of aliens other than "just because" and "we wanted to make something unique for boss fights." I guess they put about as much thought as to why there would be new types of aliens as they did to making sure they actually released a game that worked, so apparently not that much.
