Alien: Rogue Incursion, developed by Survios in collaboration with 20th Century Games, is an upcoming single-player action-horror VR game set to release on December 19, 2024. The game immerses players in the world of Alien, following the story of Zula Hendricks, a resilient former Colonial Marine, on a mission to rescue her friend and former squadmate, Benjamin Carver. With the help of her synthetic AI companion, Davis 01, Zula must navigate the Gemini Exoplanet Solutions research facility on the remote planet of Purdan, facing deadly Xenomorphs and uncovering new horrors.
The game is designed to provide an authentic and terrifying experience, leveraging VR technology to create a sense of immersion. Players will need to use their resourcefulness, quick reflexes, and ability to stay calm under pressure to survive the dynamic and intense combat scenarios. The game's art style is inspired by the films, featuring a "used future" look that grounds the setting in a believable and claustrophobic environment. Alien: Rogue Incursion will be available on PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 3, and PCVR via Steam.
