Alien: Blackout game being ripped from stores as devs face "hard decision"

radiotimes.com:

The oft-overlooked Alien: Isolation mobile follow-up, Alien: Blackout, is being pulled from mobile storefronts as the devs face a «hard decision» about the future of the game.

Alien: Blackout served as an «unofficial» sequel to Isolation, and players took the role of Ellen Ripley’s daughter, Amanda, once more.

Sometimes, though, the Xenomorph would sniff out the player and try to make their way into the control room, forcing them to cut off all power to seal the door akin to the Five Nights at Freddy’s series.

Players have until 31st October to purchase the game from either the App Store, Google Play or the Amazon Store for £0.99

Publisher 505 Go took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce the decision.

No word has been given on what has caused this «hard decision», as the game doesn’t have anything in the way of live services requiring developer support, but it is most likely a licensing issue.
