Alien: Rogue Incursion, a brand-new game set in the Alien universe, has been announced and will be launching later this year. The Alien franchise has had a number of wildly different games over the years, with titles ranging from stellar to critical flops. While games like 2013's Aliens: Colonial Marines are considered to be some of the worst licensed games made with the IP, others like Aliens: Dark Descent are decent enough entries that offer a fun experience. One game that most fans argue has yet to be surpassed in terms of horror is Alien: Isolation.
A lot of fans and critics consider Alien: Isolation to be one of the best survival horror games of all time, due to its heavy emphasis on atmosphere and the dangers of avoiding a super-intelligent Xenomorph enemy. The experience is enhanced by the entire game being in first-person, which makes the player feel immersed in the game's world. A few Alien games have followed in the same direction as Isolation by making them first-person VR experiences, with games like Alien: Covenant In Utero and Alien: Descent. The upcoming Alien: Rogue Incursion will be following the same route.
Developer Survios released its first teaser trailer for Alien: Rogue Incursion earlier today, with the game being a single-player action-horror game that will launch in Holiday 2024. This virtual reality horror game will be launching on the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 3, and PCVR platform via Steam. Fans can currently wishlist this game on the PS VR2 platform, with wishlisting on future platforms coming later.
Survios has a lot of experience with developing VR games. Its library consists of games like Creed: Rise to Glory, Westworld Awakening, and The Walking Dead: Onslaught, just to name a few. In Alien: Rogue Incursion, players will be partaking in a brand-new adventure set in the classic sci-fi universe, with Survios teasing that players will be surviving against the «Perfect Organism.»
In a statement released by Survios, it relays how the developers are big fans of the franchise and wanted to build the most immersive Alien experience in VR. The brand-new story is said to embrace all the elements of the 45-year-old Alien franchise, teasing that the game's Xenomorphs will make fans' skin crawl, expressing excitement for fans to try it out. While not much gameplay was shown in the teaser, many fans are hoping this game will be a worthy successor to Alien: Isolation, based on its emphasis on survival horror.
