Nearly a year ago at San-Diego Comic-Con it was announced that developer Survios was working on a new Alien virtual reality game inspired by Cold Iron Studios' Alien: Isolation. But since then, news on the project has been relatively nonexistent leading some to wonder if the project was canceled. Thankfully that's not the case. This week at GDC 2024, it was confirmed the game is still in active development, as reported by RoadToVR (via AvPGalaxy):
This week at GDC 2024, Survios CTO Alexander Silkin gave a presentation covering some of the challenges and opportunities of building a VR game with Unreal Engine 5. In the session description the studio clearly affirms: “Survios is utilizing these techniques to develop an upcoming VR game based on the Alien franchise.”
The original synopsis for the game read as follows - taking place in between the events of Alien and Aliens - just like the new Alien: Romulus movie:
The newly announced single-player, action-horror Aliens game from Survios, is a thrilling original storyline set between the Alien and Aliens films. Stay tuned for more information on this upcoming title for the PC, console, and VR.
