While 2021’s Alien Day is a little on the quiet side, the upcoming Aliens: Fireteam is taking the opportunity to show off some of the environments that we can expect to see when the game is releases this summer. And if you had any doubt about visiting Engineer ruins, then these previews will show you for definite!
While we had plenty of Aliens: Fireteam news throughout March, we’ve seen some radio silence during April, so it’s great to see Cold Iron showing off some of the game in celebration of today!

That's because they aren't.
Alien, Alien: Resurrection, and Alien: Covenant especially play up those elements, but they're there in the other films as well.
This is so in line with H.R Giger's xeno sexual themes, I approve of it. Plus, spiders coom web from their butts so this isn't any different anyway.

That's alright you cured 98% of cancers apparently.
"Gluttons Who Would Not Be Satisfied With All The Riches Of Heaven."
Really? Now that's is a real curious fact, even if it's not in that thread.
Well, his grave is about 10 minutes from me; I guess I can start digging for biomechanical structures in the surrounding area.
Ancient Engineer constructs burred here on Earth would be very Halo, I guess.

"Engineer" You mean.
And more Alien Covenant than Prometheus.
They said they might add Neomorphs later if they can. Now they just have to put them in!
It would be thrilling if one could actually be infected by the pollen!
But even if it is just another backdrop for the Aliens already in the game- I am totally pumped!
Buckle up Marines! I wanna see some genuine badd asses out there!
I promise not to derail the thread anymore. That said, I was interested in Cocoon victims adorning these kind of environmentals. I think Blomkamp designed something like that. Although it was probably just a human.

But overall I'm glad they're keeping the Engineer aesthetics, which tells me that there are still chances of seeing something like this in a future live action instalment of the franchise.

I think it would be compatible with the concept of Engineers visiting humans in the past. Or like in the early Prometheus draft where they found the star map on Mars.
But yeah, they can hide Engineer ruins in different places of Earth: Africa, Middle East, United Kingdom, Nordic Countries, Amazon, or...

Do you know who would be proud of the latter?

Fans these days: as soon as you give them something they immediately go crazy demanding MORE
That said, It would be delightful to see Alien cum on its victims
I do almost wonder if the launching point of the show might be similar Engineer architecture discovered here on Earth...

I think it's great. I love Derelict-like aesthetics, but something different is just as cool. And going back to LV-426-like environments, I think you can have both: A majestic natural landscape with ancient-looking ruins, in addition to some cocooned humanoids figures (humans or Engineers) in the depths of the temples.
Thus, we can have the horror movie atmosphere and environment within the epic adventure setting.
In fact I would love to see a cocoon cinematic scene, and I think there was Covenant concept art of that. I'm not sure though.
