A new Aliens game is coming to PC, consoles and virtual reality from VR developer Survios. It’s set in the Aliens universe and is a single-player action-horror adventure game.
Survios have a provided a piece of artwork which you can see below. The title of the game is unknown but more information will be revealed at the San Diego Comic-Con next week. There will be a panel at Comic-Con called Alien: Expanding a Dark and Frightening Universe which takes place Thursday, July 21, 2022 at 2PM-3PM.
The panel will explore the Alien franchise as seen through the development of new fiction, comics, and games. Speakers include Steve Saffel (Alien fiction editor, Titan Books), Violet Castro (author, Aliens Vasquez), Clara Carija (author, Alien: Inferno’s Fall), and Andrew Gaska (writer, Alien: The Roleplaying Game).
Suvios’s New Aliens Game.
From the website, it says the new Aliens title will be built using Unreal Engine 5. Survios has worked on a number of big entertainment properties including Creed, The Walking Dead and Westworld.
When I joined Survios in 2020, it was to build bigger, more ambitious games, using the best entertainment franchises across console, PC, and VR platforms. Aliens is a distinct and terrifying world that fans love to be entrenched in, and it is perfect for Survios’ proven expertise in creating immersive gaming experiences.
Luigi Priore, VP of Disney, Pixar and 20th Century Games also said:
The vast universe of Alien is full of untold stories, and opportunities to create gripping original games. We’re thrilled to work with a team like Survios who shares our passion for Alien, and for immersing fans into new worlds and experiences.

Good lord that guy is loud. Lot of clicking, snaps, smacks, so on. xD Thank goodness it only took 2 minutes to get the confirmation they are still working on it.
Anyways thanks for the vid, Hicks. Always good to get confirmation of things, especially since Aliens projects tend to either be rumors or just die off.
The problem with it is the technology isn't there yet, even though they've solved a lot of the issues that plagued VR in the 90s and 2000s.
The thing is still that: unless you have an incredibly lifelike (currently impossible)immersion rig, you're left with a few great games optimized for VR and a short novel experience that grows old.
When you're not able to physically sense your environment or walk, your brain just goes "Oh, this is just a cool video game after all. Why am I even wearing this expensive headbucket when I can just play it on screen?", then you forget all about it.
EDIT: That's my current opinion on VR. It can be fun some times if you're with other people doing stuff you couldn't really do over a chat room or video chat, other than that, it's an expensive novelty device that needs improvement before wide acceptance.
Not seeing anything myself, where did ya hear that?
I think the quality of an Alien game from them probably comes down to the budget they have managed to secure for it.
Hopefully this is something that'll be addressed at SDCC.
I actually really like Zula so it'll be cool to see her in a video game.
This is what it comes down to really. And if it is, how well does it translate.
Zula Hendricks I bet.
*shrugs*
I found their source.
It's from Survios directly... this *did* sound really promising, but now it's going to be a hard sell for me... oh well. Maybe they'll win me over; after all, Alien Isolation was a "hard sell" too and they won me over...

This is my main concern.
I've not heard of this developer, but yeah the mention of VR is also making me think it'll be PSVR thing on consoles. You know Sony is going to want to push that again with these next-gen systems being capable of higher framerates than the original PS4 VR system was capable of.
Either way it's pretty cool......though I do rather wish we'd get an announcement about a new Predator (or AVP) game to go along with these new Alien games we now know are on the horizon too....
