All Aliens, all the time.
Between Alien: Isolation, Aliens: Fireteam Elite and the upcoming Aliens: Dark Descent, fans of Aliens games already have a number of titles to enjoy or look forward to. Now, Survios is adding another one to the mix.

The studio is working with 20th Century Games on an untitled Aliens game for PC, consoles and virtual reality. It will be a single-player, action-horror game. The developer will reveal more details at a San Diego Comic-Con panel on July 21st.

Please don't be more cheap crap like Fireteam Elite.

How hard is it to make an actual good Aliens game? Sigh.....

Wait. WHAT? There's a good VR Westworld game? How do I not know this?

I almost overlooked it thinking it was some short licensed "experience" thing, but don't sleep on it. Some of the better graphics I've seen in VR, new original story, great voice work, nice puzzles and stealth. I thought it was fantastic and you can probably pick it up super cheap at this point. Also chunks of the gameplay are a lot like an alien isolation type game with this recurring host coming after you.

That sounds great so far but i hope it's not VR only tho.
Anyway, i'm excited for more info during next week.
Edit:
There's additional info in the game's website, it says that it's a UE5 game and takes place between Alien and Aliens.
The main character seems to be a veteran soldier who has a vendetta against the xenomorphs.

Alien Isolation was eight years ago, the article makes it sound like we've had a glut of Alien games.

Exactly. Isolation was the last good thing we got. And Colonial Marines before that also sucked.

How many Alien games are they going to make in the span of a few years?

Too many. Idk why they keep outsourcing the fucking ALIENS ip to these no-name d-tier shovelware mobile game studios like wtf. Why haven't they greenlit a AAA story driven, single player, first person, survival horror/action Aliens game, it's baffling. Fuck gearbox/randy p for Colonial Marines, they really poisoned the well.

Yeah I was going to say, that game isn't perfect but it's better than it has any right to be and has some good production values. Plus the main stealth gameplay is pretty similar to Alien Isolation.

Cool, was hoping for an experience that allowed me to actually shit myself with fear while wearing a VR helmet.

Having played the Alien Isolation VR Mod, if this is anything close to that experience, make sure to stock up on some clean skivvies.

Please do! You inspired me to reinstall it and give it another run-through. If you like Westworld and some good horror/stealth gameplay I can't imagine you'll be disappointed.

Just here to mention WestWorld Awakening as some already have. Probably my favorite game out of Survios, which doesn't seem to get talked about all that much (about 3-4 hours in length).

Isolation also was a financial failure, IIRC, even if it's quality was higher.

If you're going to sell based on a nostalgic brand (that actually does not appear to have selling power), might as well keep things cheap.
