New Single-Player Aliens Action Horror Game Announced
20th Century Games has announced that a new single-player title based on the Aliens franchise is in the works from Survios, the developer behind VR experience The Walking Dead: Onslaught. The Aliens series is experiencing a resurgence in the gaming medium after a brief drought, with squad-based shooter Aliens: Fireteam Elite releasing in 2021 and Aliens: Dark Descent being announced with a trailer during Summer Game Fest 2022.
The last single-player Aliens video game to release was 2015's Alien: Isolation, a survival horror title developed by Creative Assembly. The game focused on Ellen Ripley's daughter Amanda as she encounters a Xenomorph decades after her mother's disappearance following the events of the first Alien film. Although well-received, no sequel to Alien: Isolation was ever developed, leaving players short of any horror-oriented Aliens project, with the majority of games based on the franchise taking more inspiration from James Cameron's sequel than Ridley Scott's tension-filled original. One such example was Gearbox's much maligned Aliens: Colonial Marines, which released with numerous bugs in 2013.

Survios has also revealed that its new Aliens title is being developed on Unreal Engine 5, and will release on
