Games with space and terrible xenomorphs, we saw a lot of them. The announcement of a new VR headset-compatible Alien game at San Diego Comic Con may have made some hesitant, because the Alien franchise combines dimensional claustrophobia with psychological horror.
On earth, it’s perfectly fine to play sports betting and online casinos, but in space, no one can hear you scream! Although Survios Studios, the VR game specialists, have yet to reveal any images of this game, we want to know if this Unreal Engine game of the same name has a chance to compete with Alien: Isolation released in 2014.
Alien in VR, pinnacle of anxiety
In truth, games in the Alien franchise have come and gone over the past few years, but none come close to Alien: Isolation, a survival horror game in which you head unarmed onto a ship where a monster from the saga can take you. surprise. any time. With addictive and very creepy gameplay, this game remains the benchmark in this field.
With adaptation to VR, Survios studios put an end to it, because you can already imagine wandering through the dark corridors of a spaceship. According to the studio, the story of this game will be exclusive and should take place between the first Alien and Alien 2. At this point, it remains to be seen if the game will favor pure action or survival.
With graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5, Aliens (plural) does not yet have a release date, but it will be available on consoles, PC, and VR. Everything is still very mysterious, because even the official website of the game does not leak any photos or information about the gameplay.
Alien lovers are waiting
Among the absolute fans of video games about aliens, two types of players can be distinguished. On the one hand, those who appreciate the psychological component and claustrophobic fear of Alien Isolation, and on the other hand, those who appreciate the butchering of a herd of xenomorphs, as in Alien Fireteam, a cooperative shooter that has been delighting insiders since its release in 2021.
Alien games have succeeded each other with more or less success in the past, not to mention Alien Colonial Marines, which is considered one of the worst games on PS3. But with the aliens, there is still hope. Another alien game is coming soon called Aliens: Dark Descent, which will be faithful to the plot of the second opus (Alien 2).
