Alien: Blackout will try to make you scream on Android this January
The Alien movie franchise remains one of the most popular sci-fi series ever made, and it has spawned tons of great spin-offs in novels, comic books and games.
Apparently, you just can’t keep a good biomechanical Xenomorph monster down as today, we got the first details on Alien: Blackout, an upcoming mobile game coming to Android (and iOS) devices on Jan. 24.
According to co-developer D3 Go’s website, the game centers on Amanda Ripley, the daughter of the movie series’ best known human character Ellen Ripley.
Amanda was also the central character in the critically acclaimed survival horror game Alien: Isolation, which was released in 2014 for PCs and consoles by Sega. Alien: Blackout may serve as a (sort-of) sequel to that earlier game.
According to the game’s official description, Amanda Ripley finds herself in trouble again, this time on board a Weyland-Yutani space station (showing once again that the real villain of this franchise is an evil human corporation). In the game, you must control Ripley and the station’s remaining crew members as they try to escape, without being killed off by the latest version of the series’ titular alien.
The game will make you use the station’s holographic map, along with surveillance cameras and a motion tracker, so you and the crew can navigate through the station and avoid being picked off. There will be seven levels to complete and the game is supposed to have some replayability as you try different paths and make alternate decisions.
There’s no word on if this game will cost something upfront, or if it will be a free-to-play title. Hopefully, the price won’t make you scream.
