Alien Franchise Returns with Promising New Solo Game Amid Success of Romulus and Earth Series

Get ready for more scares, as the Alien franchise isn't done with its gaming community, especially after the success of Romulus and the Earth series on Disney. Gamers may be next to benefit, with rumors circulating about a promising new solo Alien game.

After an appearance in Fortnite last Halloween, the Alien universe is reportedly making more waves in the gaming scene. While multiple projects are in development, including Multi Fireteam Elite 2, a new solo Alien game is also in the works, generating excitement due to recent leaks. Insider Gaming reports that this title has been in development since 2020, although it has been kept quiet. Development has apparently changed hands, with Eidos Montreal (Deus Ex, Thief, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy) now at the helm. This new Alien game aims to capture the attention of fans with a survival-focused experience, blending puzzle-solving and stealth mechanics with combat, creating a mix of Shadow of the Tomb Raider with Xenomorphs. Eidos Montreal aims to deliver a familiar experience while aligning with current industry trends. This title may remind players of the latest Tomb Raider trilogy and the upcoming Jurassic Park survival game, as players will have to survive in an abandoned scientific complex overrun with Xenomorphs, promising a tense horror experience. So far, three characters have been revealed: Aubrey, an engineer; Ryuzo, an antagonist hiding within the station; and Ripley 8, the eighth clone of Sigourney Weaver's character from the Alien films.

Eidos Montreal's $75M Undisclosed Project Unveiling Anticipated in 2028

Eidos Montreal is reportedly developing a large-scale project with a budget of $75 million. However, the game is not expected to be revealed until around 2028, with a potential release one or two years later. Keep an eye out for further updates.
