Sounds like something presumably being written out-of-universe? Will keep an eye on this.

I'll throw in a pre-order, try to catch it at the best price in case the price drops between now and release. If it ends up not looking great, I'll just cancel at some point.

EDIT: Author Joe Fordham has a special effects background and a history with Cinefex. Very neat.

It says "in universe" in the description too


Or rather, "in world" but I think they mean "in universe" lol

D'oh! Totally missed that. I stand corrected on my "out-of-universe" comment. :D

Weyland Yutani Report 2: Electric Boogaloo. Hopefully SM is involved with this as well.

Could this be an expansion upon, or based upon the lore the RPG uses? Here's hoping!

Retread of the most of the stuff we know already ?

I'm looking forward to seeing more of this. I really dig the in-universe style that WYR went for and I'm curious to see if this'll also take Titan's own contributions into account.

Oh wow - this is brilliant, this news has definitely made my day. Cheers, guys.

Alien: Receives a new encyclopedia, at least three full-fledged books for this year, a TV series and a movie, a comic book series from Marvel.

Fans: Hey, buddy, we thought you were lost somewhere.
Predator with one anthology and one movie on Hulu: No, still here.

I feel the same lol
The movie, sounds like I might be into it, so I'm curious to see the synopsis before I lose interest. This encyclopedia has potential too maybe...
