Focus Entertainment has revealed Aliens: Dark Descent, which appears to be a tactical shooter of sorts, and it's coming to consoles and PC next year.
Revealed during today's Summer Game Fest showcase, Aliens: Dark Descent is about a military-like squad trekking through a now-destroyed space station on the search for an offline relay. Their goal was simple: get the relay back online but upon entering the station, they find that it's in ruins thanks to some Xenomorphs. And not just one Xenomorph, but multiple. It's coming to consoles and PC sometime in 2023.
You can check out the reveal trailer below:
The trailer was mostly CG and featured a squad of just a few soldiers, but right at the end, it appeared that some gameplay footage began to play. This gameplay looked kind of like XCOM or The Ascent in that it featured an isometric viewpoint with enemies rushing the soldiers across the screen. It looked great, but because it was only just a snippet of gameplay, it's hard to tell exactly what to expect in Aliens: Dark Descent. At least one thing is clear: there are a lot of Xenomorphs and it'll be our jobs to kill them, or at least attempt to survive their onslaught.
