Last year’s Aliens: Fireteam was a decent attempt if a bit half-baked. On the other hand, Aliens: Dark Descent shows promise but we won’t know for sure if it’s good until it comes out. Yet, neither of these two games have a chance to be as good as Alien: Isolation. The good news is that an upcoming Aliens game from Survios might.
After working on The Walking Dead Onslaught and Sprint Vector, the studio will work on a single-player Aliens game simply titled as “Aliens.” According to Survios, Aliens will be an “intense single-player, action horror game set in the iconic Alien universe.” The game, which will use Unreal Engine 5, will tell a story set between 1979’s Alien and 1986’s Aliens films that will revolve around a “battle hardened veteran” that apparently has it out for the titular intergalactic creatures. The listed genre suggests that Aliens isn’t purely a horror game. However, this is still better than a full-on action title like the more recent outings. If we were to speculate, Aliens will be less Alien: Isolation and more Resident Evil. We’ll find out more about Aliens on July 21 at the San Diego Comic-Con. For now, all that we know is that Aliens will come out for the PC and presumably next-gen consoles as well as VR.
