With Keith R.A. DeCandido’s Alien: Isolation novelization due out at the end of the month, a preview of the novel has showed up on Google and let the cat out of the bag about Scott Sigler’s new Alien novel!
Though titled Alien: Legion in the preview, the newly announced novel is currently under the working title of Alien: Phalanx (and that may still change) and is slated for release in spring of 2020!
This was a secret, but the facehugger’s out of the bag, so here’s the news.

NEW NOVEL

No pre-order link yet. I’ll holler when it’s up. I’m a *huge* fan of this franchise. Honored to be a part of it.

Game on, man … game on.

Other than the above, there are no further details about what Scott has for store in us. You can follow Scott on Twitter to learn more about himself and to keep track of anything related to his Alien novel.
Scott Sigler has previously written for the Alien universe with Dangerous Prey, a short story in the Aliens: Bug Hunt anthology. Dangerous Prey is written entirely from the point of views of the Aliens and is one of the few instances that has been depicted.
Make sure you stick with Alien vs. Predator Galaxy for the latest on Alien and Predator! You can follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube to get the latest on your social media walls. You can also join in with fellow Alien and Predator fans on our forums!
Of hopefully an excellent Alien story.
Yah, good to have you hanging out with us!
That said, if Ghost of Walt can find that Aliens inspired movies make more than Alien ones you can guarantee that is where the franchise will go.
Thanks for the old man bit Erik.
The future is the future. It is not now, nor will it ever be now.
And I really look forward to Alien Phalanx.
I think you forgot the biggest camp...camp 3, people who love both Alien and Aliens....
Although I'd argue the simplistic, spaced out "A L I E N" logo is every bit as iconic as the Aliens one. Even recently, Life basically ripped-off the former on it's Blu-ray cover.
Just Bug Hunt.
Is that you Oram? lol.
Prototype has one Alien in it? Cool, nice to have one of those once in a while. Can't wait for Phalanx, always great to have the author appear in here as well.
Or anything pre-1979 Alien & Scott: Alien (As in everything is and seems Alien).
Post Alien timeline: Aliens. (Aliens are coming outta the God damn walls going forward, they're known to humanity).
Blame Titan/Google, not us!
It might be ALIENS, I'm not sure. Since this board broke the secret, I made that graphic myself!
It won't be a full book of xenomorph perspective, I don't think the concept would support a full book (or I don't have the writing skill to make that conceit into a novel, at any rate).
Rome is not the setting.
Did he give them some sorta tribe dialect or communicate like the Kharaa do from Natural Selection?
The upcoming novel “Prototype” claims to be just one alien... but we’ll see. Personally I like the distinction that the novel line is singular whereas the comic line is plural.
And obviously I’m hyped for this announcement!
PS> Shouldn't there be some kind of structure as to when a title is termed Alien or Aliens? Or just use 1. It's all good though.
Surprised there's no one wanting to make or accept 1 Alien stories anymore...
I like the blue shining font of the ALIENS logo. It is iconic, and we should go back to that in the publications.
But yeah, if you ask me it's the Alien franchise, because that's the film that started it.
Otherwise we'd recieve more appropriately titled DH entries
Alien Dead Orbit for instance.
AlienUniverse.com, Alien The RPG, Alien The Cold Forge, etcetera the only thing using the other license name now is the Dark Horse comics.
and one specific twist of the Alien title-
but it's the A L I E N series.
As this is military, it should be under the Aliens imprint rather than Alien, IMO. I hope we don't abandon the Aliens name and logo. It is the iconic symbol of the series.
Welcome Scott! Hope you enjoy your time with Titan and that you have fun writing this novel. As mentioned before, your story was one of the most unique ones and among the best in Bug Hunt as far as I'm concerned, so I'm really glad and eager to read your story next spring.
(Hi scotssigler. We've corresponded.
Always excited for more novels from Titan.
A Phalanx is a mass military formation, so I'm guessing it isn't a reference to the Alien itself but a military organisation.
I'm really excited to bring this to you, and I hope to properly honor ALIEN fandom with this story.
"I am Legion for we are many."
A.I (E.G Apollo) or Alien, or even a new organisation.
