After being announced earlier this year, the first major Alien game for VR, Alien: Rogue Incursion, has secured a release date of December 19th, 2024 for PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 3 and PC VR.
Developed by VR veterans, Survios, Alien: Rogue Incursion is poised to be a tense and terrifying single-player, action-horror game that captures the look and feel of the iconic franchise. The game’s description promises dynamic encounters with the Xenomorphs that can result in deadly combat against the aliens or, if you’re resourceful, borrowed time out of their sight. It’s probably the closest we’re going to get to a brand-new Alien Isolation and the addition of VR just makes the prospect seem that much more frightening.
The game will also come in two editions, a Standard and a Deluxe Edition, with the latter including extra character armour and weapon skins and more to be revealed. Both versions will also include bonus pre-order skins inspired by the just-released Alien: Romulus film.
Pre-orders on each platform are available below:
Alien: Rogue Incursion Digital Pre-Orders
- PlayStation VR2 – $59.95 Standard | $75.95 Deluxe
- Meta Quest 3 – $59.99 Standard
- PC VR (Steam) – $58.50 Standard | $73.50 Deluxe
You can also check out a new trailer, which gives us a glimpse at the Xenomorphs players will come up against in the game:
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE ALIEN UNIVERSE
Experience the horror and challenge of fighting Xenomorphs in a world inspired by the look and feel of the Alien film franchise. Audio, Visuals, Lighting, FX, Interaction, and Haptics work together to plunge players into the terrifying world of Alien.
DANGER LURKS EVERYWHERE
Xenomorphs can intelligently use the environment to find the best angle of attack and appear from anywhere around you. Playing in VR will test your nerves and skill as you feel the pulse-pounding terror of facing off against Xenomorphs. In addition to weapons and gear, your resourcefulness, quick reflexes, and ability to stay cool under terrifying pressure is needed to survive.
MISTAKES ARE DEADLY
Combat is dynamic and can happen (or not) based on Player actions, and the moment you don’t respect Xenomorphs is the minute you die in a gory mess. Spawning is reactive to the players movements. Make a lot of noise, and you are calling the Xenomorphs to you. In combat with Xenomorphs, death is very much an inevitable reality.
ICONIC WEAPONS AND GEAR
