2007 run-and-gun classic Alien Hominid HD is coming to most modern platforms
videogameschronicle.comAlien Hominid HD will be coming to most modern platforms, developer The Behemoth has announced.
The classic run-and-gun game was originally released on entertainment website Newgrounds as a Flash game back in 2002, before being ported to the PS2, Xbox and GameCube in 2004, and the Game Boy Advance in 2006.
An HD version was then released on the Xbox 360 in 2007, and this version is still the only way to play it on modern systems to date (via Xbox backwards compatibility).
In a blog post, The Behemoth stated that it planned to remedy this by releasing Alien Hominid HD on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch and Steam.
The game will be released later this year alongside Alien Hominid Invasion, an “all-new re-imagination” of Alien Hominid with new gameplay and new mechanics. This is planned for release on Xbox One, Switch and PC.
“Adding to the excitement,” The Behemoth said, “the newly-ported and polished Alien Hominid HD will be available to purchase in a bundle with Invasion, saving you some hard-earned lunch money in the process.
“When can you get your hands on the individual games, or the bundle, you may ask? Well, we haven’t announced a release date yet, so prepare yourself for another announcement coming soon.”
