(Update 1/8 9:20am): There does appear to be an App Store pre-order page live now with a $4.99 price tag and no IAPs! But just keep in mind “This content may change without notice and the final product may be different.” Players can test different strategies and theories to outlast the Xenomorph in pursuit of victory! Pricing and Availability: While it’s hard to say for sure, it sounds like the decisions you make and who stays alive can in some way affect the narrative.Įvery decision can lead to a different conclusion.
The station’s holographic map system, surveillance cameras and a motion tracker will be your most invaluable tools. There are “seven fear-inducing levels” where players will have to make use of the station’s security systems in order to keep the crew alive. While it might have been nice to see an FPS experience like Isolation, something tells us this kind of approach is better suited for a mobile iteration. As opposed to taking control of Amanda herself, players will have to guide her and her team through the “ crippled Weyland-Yutani space station” in order to avoid getting their heads chewed off by a hungry Xenomorph. It wasn’t a perfect experience but it certainly did a great job at creating a similar feeling as the first Alien film.ĭeveloper D3Go looks to be tapping into that same sense of urgency with the new Alien: Blackout mobile game. It puts players in a terrifying, broken down space station as you struggle for survival with a giant Xenomorph stalking you at every turn. Isolation followed the story of Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Ellen Ripley who starred in the original films. Blackout continues the story of Amanda Ripley in events that take place in between the first two films. Instead we are getting a new sort of experience that draws from the sensibilities developer Creative Assembly laid out in the 2014 release. But as I’m sure you’re imagining, this is not another first person, survival horror experience. The new Alien: Blackout mobile game is essentially a continuation of the Alien Isolation title that released back in 2014. While it might not be the proper AAA console game you were hoping for, so far things are looking positive.
After a series of teasers via the franchise’s official channels seemingly pointed at some kind of new game on the way, we now have a load of new details on the latest Alien experience. So, there’s still a console Alien game in the works! Just, we don’t know when it’s coming.The new Alien: Blackout mobile game has now been unveiled.
Now, for those of you who don’t want a mobile game, there’s some hope-this doesn’t seem to be the console and PC game under development at Cold Iron, given that it’s not being developed by Cold Iron. The game itself is going to come to iOS, Android, and Kindle, and will be developed by D3 GO!, who have previously worked on Marvel Puzzle Quest. It seems to be a Five Nights at Freddy kind of thing with an Alien skin, and involves the player playing as Amanda Ripley, overseeing their crew and guiding them to safety while avoiding encounters with the Xenomorphs that could be fatal for them. The actual game looks really interesting, to be fair. What? To quote Blizzard when they announced Diablo: Immortal, do you guys not have phones?
Remember Alien: Blackout, which was being teased and speculated upon a whole lot last month? Well, good news! It got announced today.
