I'm worried about the future of this franchise, so I wanted to gather a list of all the new Alien media that we know is coming soon. Any omissions or errors?
WHAT WE KNOW IS COMING FOR SUREAlien: Blackout (video game)Fox hired a company called Cold Iron Studios to make a game. They also registered a copyright on the title "Alien: Blackout." Not much else is known at this time.
Aliens: Dust to Dust (comic)A 4-issue comic series about a mother and her son trying to escape an alien infestation only to have their ship overrun with the creatures.
Aliens: Resistance (comic)4-issue comic series which follows the further adventures of Amanda Ripley after Alien: Isolation as she fights to expose Weyland-Yutani experiments with the aliens. (I'm pretty sure this is what the official Alien Instagram was teasing with their 6-part dossier of motion images.)
William Gibson's Alien 3 (comic)A 5-issue adaptation of an unproduced script for Alien 3.
The Greenhouse Effect, Alien: Ore, Alien: Alone, No Escape, Night Shift, Alien: Harvest (short films)Six crews of fans were chosen via Tongal contest to make short films in connection to the original Alien for the 40th anniversary. These will range from 5 to 9 minutes in length.
Alien: Isolation (novel)We assume this is a novelization of the video game, though the author teased that it will be slightly more than that.
Alien: Echo (young adult novel)Teenage twin girls fight for survival as their colony is infested with aliens.
Alien: The Blueprints (book)A collection of blueprints for ships from all six Alien films.
The Making Of Alien (book)A comprehensive behind-the-scenes look with new interviews from the crew.
AVP: The Hunt Begins - Hot Landing Zone (miniature game expansion)A large expansion to an AVP miniatures game.
Memory - The Origin of Alien (documentary)A new documentary looking back at the production of Alien.
WHAT MAY POSSIBLY BE COMINGAlien TV SeriesSupposed insider rumors claim that a streaming series is in the works and that it's found a streaming service to call home. No word on what the story/stories will be, what service it will be on, or if Disney will cancel this after the buyout.
Alien: Awakening (film sequel to Covenant)A crewmember took to
blu-ray.com forums to inform us that this film has been pushed back from its original shooting date. A franchise consultant informed us that Fox was giving Ridley one final film to tie up the prequel series, but at a reduced budget. But Ridley has a busy schedule, he could balk due to the budget constraint, but most likely of all: The new Disney overlords might cancel the project all together.
