The launch trailer for new “Alien” VR game “Alien: Rogue Incursion” has arrived.
From Survios and 20th Century Games, the title is set in the “Alien” cinematic universe and play as rogue Colonial Marine Zula Hendricks on a mission to the planet Purdan (LV-354) in search of a former squadmate. After a sudden attack, Zula and her AI companion Davis 01 find themselves in Gemini Exoplanet Solutions’ hauntingly desolate Castor’s Cradle research facility.
During gameplay, “Alien: Rogue Incursion” players will get the chance to use iconic weapons and gear like the Pulse Rifle and Motion Tracker and “explore the depths of the Xenomorph-infested facility in search of answers, quickly discovering the danger that lurks around every corner,” per the game description. “Gather intel and supplies and learn about the Cradle’s former inhabitants on a journey to unlock the mysteries of what could possibly have gone so wrong.”
“Alien: Rogue Incursion” launches Thursday with both standard and deluxe editions across PlayStation VR2 and PCVR via Steam. The game will arrive for Meta Quest 3 and 3S on Feb. 13, with pre-orders open now.
“Since a Xenomorph first burst onto screens (quite literally) in 1979, ‘Alien’ has perfectly evoked humanity’s deepest fears about our place in the universe,” 20th Century Games general manager John Drake said. “Thanks to Survios, you can experience that existential dread for the very first time, fully immersed in virtual reality. We can’t lie to you about your chances – but you have our sympathies.”
“It’s an honor for the Survios team to bring the visceral and outright terrifying ‘Alien’ universe to the immersive medium of VR for the first time, capturing the haunting atmosphere fans know and love,” Survios chief product officer TQ Jefferson said. “’Alien’ and VR could not be a more perfect match, and we’re extremely proud to add this original story to the 45 year legacy of the ‘Alien’ franchise.”
