If Alien: Romulus reawakened your appetite for the iconic sci-fi franchise, the good news is that a promising video game could be on the way. According to an Insider Gaming report, a new game for the Alien franchise is back in development. The report’s sources mentioned that the single-player game will be set in a “decaying space station” as an arcade survival horror that can be compared to “Shadow of [the] Tomb Raider with Xenomorphs.”
It’s not the first time we heard about this Alien game, which was first reported on in 2022 under the codename “Marathon.” According to Insider Gaming, the game has cycled through several developers, but more recently landed with Eidos Montreal, which developed Shadow of the Tomb Raider and is currently working on the upcoming Fable reboot. The report added that the game’s development budget was increased to less than $75 million, up from the initial $30 million budget from a few years ago.
Insider Gaming‘s report noted that the game is still in “early development,” but could feature Ripley 8, the human-Xenomorph hybrid that was first seen in Alien Resurrection. The game’s details and release date are still subject to change, but Insider Gaming‘s sources said the game is “in a good place at this point” and is expected to release in 2028 on all platforms.
