... We would be awaiting two releases for these franchises right now.

PREDATORS ONLINE

Drawing from the popularity of battle royal games and DayZ, Predators online would see the player contend with up to 79 other players on an alien safari planet. Dropped in to a hunting ground, for every ten players, a Predator is randomly chosen for the hunt. It'll be up to the players to work together to turn the tables on the hunters.

From the outset you have basically three characters to customize. Human, Predator, and Super. In larger games the dice roll will drop in super predators.

For your human character you can adjust visual appearance from various backgrounds, and gender. Cartel enforcer, Special Ops, Terrorist, Escaped Convinct, Mercenary, Soldier. Gender, skin tone, height, and basic stats. You can emphasize speed, stamina, or strength, or balance all three to be a more rounded character. Unlike the film, humans are dropped in unarmed and have to find weapons. Predators who kill unarmed humans in the early game are docked points for unsportsman like behavior.

For the Predator and Super Predators you can customize your armor and weapons. Choosing from various masks, gauntlets, cannons, discs, staffs, and special weapons. IE: Netguns, booby traps, tracker drone, dog whistle. Drones and dogs being a deployable character that you give basic commands to. Plus the visual look. Are you an elder? Are you covered in scars and tats and sygils? Are you more classic in appearance? You can make your Predator/Super look however you want within the confines of what has basically been established.


Beyond the main multiplayer game, you could also host your own offline experience with AI human and predators, allowing you to essentially practice before going online.

There would also be a firing range for human characters and a proving grounds for the Predators, where you can hang out with out players like a VR Chat and test all of the gear in the game on dummy targets.


ALIENS ONLINE
[/b]

A spiritual remake of the original MMOFPS. In a lot of ways A:O was ahead of it's time, and I can only imagine the game would be so much better now-a-days. Combining the a-symmetrical combat of the ALIENS franchise with the mass appeal and play-ability of franchises like Call of Duty, in Aliens Online you strap into the boots of a hardened Colonial Marine or a terrifying Xenomorph Alien.

With a strong focus on authenticity, the game will aim to recreate the tension of the ALIENS film.

As either a Marine or an Alien you choose your base class and from there you have the ability to customize your abilities/perks and with the marine, customize your body armor.

The marines emphasize tactical squad based play, and the Aliens rely on taking advantage of the environment and blinding speed. You can swarm, but you're liable to be cut down by state-of-the-art firepower.

Aliens focus on customizing biology with minimal visual change(For the sake of authenticity. We won't have glowing pods or strange spiked crests or really wild half breed variants.) Instead you focus on traits, similar to how Natural Selection 1 and 2 allowed you to upgrade your Kahraa with different perks like a speed boost or a regeneration ability. For instance you might have a slot that is your special ability slot. You could choose to have an acid spitting ability which will blind and stun a marine, or you could choose to have a pouncing ability which will allow you leap great distances, and if you time it right, lock on and grapple a marine in a death embrace. 

The Alien side of things would also feature a fully functional life cycle. If you so choose you can spawn as a facehugger and experience the entire life cycle in full. Outside of the hive the hugger's will very slowly lose health over time. You're fast, nimble, and incredibly weak. As a player controlled alien you can also perform (if you have the right ability chosen) a cocoon kill which will basically allow you to kill a marine player, drag their corpse back to the hive, and place them near an egg, which will hatch and generate an AI controlled alien. Under certain circumstances an Alien player can also become the Queen.

As a marine you're choosing a class and filling a role. Within the limitations of your class you can choose from various weapons and equipment recreated from the films or taken from the Colonial marines Tech Manual. Pulse Rifles, Shotguns, Flame Throwers, Smart Guns, Remote Sentries, Land Mines, Motion Trackers, Welders, Flares. 

Much like the original ALIENS online, there will also exist offline capability where you can play as an alien or a marine against and with AI marines and aliens.



These are the two games i'd love to see Fox pushing out for the franchise. I think it will really liven things up to have two dedicated Alien and Predator games for online play. I would also love to see the single player side given really good treatment as well. Alien Isolation 2 and a spiritual successor to Predator : Concrete Jungle.(though, ditch the Alien references and make it uniquely a Predator game set in contemporary times.)
