20th Century Fox have just announced an interesting new Alien experience that is going to be launching for Alien Day 2018! Titled Alien: Offworld Colony Simulator, the new interactive survival game is exclusively available on Amazon’s Alexa devices!
“Launching one minute prior to ALIEN DAY at 11:59 PM ET on April 25th, the ALIEN: Offworld Colony Simulator is a turned-based survival game that simulates a Weyland-Yutani Space Colony in security lockdown. Weyland-Yutani is inviting civilians to participate in an open Beta test of “The Offworld Colony Simulator” – an advanced system that simulates security breach scenarios in non-terrestrial colonies. Those that participate in the Open Beta will help teach the system’s AI to accurately simulate human behavior in the face of otherworldly dangers.
Utilizing the Amazon Alexa service, players need to collect items, solve puzzles and explore unmarked territories to successfully move throughout the colony, unlock sectors and avoid capture in a Xenomorph-infested space colony.”
In addition to Alien: Offworld Colony Simulator, 20th Century Fox have also announced the Weyland-Yutani Career Placement Test: “a multi-question aptitude test to determine if applicants have what it takes for a role at the interplanetary Weyland-Yutani organization. Complemented with a sweepstakes, the test launches for fans on April 23 at AlienUniverse.com.“

Review from the PO boys.
Doesn't seem to be available in the UK yet.

Anybody lucky enough to have bought tickets and gone to the event will amoung those who get a first glimpse at THE PREDATOR TEASER, it will subsequently be shown at Cinema sooner or later.
My Kindle Fire has Alexa also. So hopefully I can play it on my Kindle.
From the games I've played on my own Alexa I would imagine it's just going to be spoken. That said - given the video I have to wonder if they're going to do some sort of app companion.
I didn't think anything other than the various Alexa devices supported her? So Echo, Dot, Spot and Show?
