Aliens: Dark Descent Reveals Horror & Xenomorph Chaos

While mostly only a cinematic trailer, there is a new game in the Aliens universe coming called Aliens: Dark Descent. You can expect to get your hands on it sometime in 2023. The small sliver of gameplay at the very end appears to show off that it is possibly a twin-stick shooter.

You can watch the trailer for Aliens: Dark Descent below:

The description for the trailer shares this chunk of information about what can be expected. Alien: Dark Descent will be an “enthralling single player squad-based action game.” This is a good era for Aliens games seeing as Aliens: Fireteam Elite came out only last August. While the camera angle shown does slightly seem to suggest an XCOM-like game, Aliens: Dark Descent is described as having real-time combat, so what exactly that means remains to be seen.

The Alien universe first began with the titular film that released in 1979. While that movie started everything, most games made have followed Aliens that traded some of the atmosphere for action and shooting and came out in 1986.

Aliens: Dark Descent will be available for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC sometime in 2023. We’ll be bringing you more reveals from the Summer Game Fest livestream, so stick around.
