Get ready for an exciting journey into the world of sci-fi gaming! The iconic Alien franchise is making a comeback with a brand-new AAA game in development. But here's where it gets controversial...
If you're a fan of the Alien universe, you might remember the buzz around Alien: Romulus, which reignited our love for this classic sci-fi series. Well, prepare for another thrilling adventure because a promising video game is reportedly on its way!
According to the trusted sources at Insider Gaming, a new single-player Alien game is back in development. The game, codenamed "Marathon," has had an interesting journey, cycling through several developers before landing with Eidos Montreal, the talented team behind Shadow of the Tomb Raider. And this is the part most people miss... the game's development budget has seen a significant boost, increasing to less than $75 million, a far cry from the initial $30 million budget.
The game is still in its early stages, but rumors suggest it will take us to a "decaying space station," offering an arcade-style survival horror experience akin to Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but with the terrifying addition of Xenomorphs! Imagine exploring a derelict space station, fighting for your life against these deadly creatures. It's a gamer's dream come true!
And here's a fun twist: the game might feature Ripley 8, the human-Xenomorph hybrid from Alien Resurrection. Can you imagine the possibilities this opens up for the story and gameplay?
While the game's details and release date are still under wraps, sources claim it's "in a good place" and is expected to launch in 2028 across all platforms.
