Aliens

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Ridley Scott’s Alien, and the franchise will be expanded upon later this month with brand new mobile game Alien: Blackout. While that game continues the story of Alien: Isolation character Amanda Ripley (sorry, a proper Isolation sequel is not currently in the works), another upcoming game is set in the world of Aliens.

Brought to our attention by AvP GalaxyAliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps is the title of a board game releasing early this year, courtesy of Gale Force Nine.

“Aliens is a cooperative survival board game in which you and your team of specialist Colonial Marines will gear up with serious firepower and head into Hadley’s Hope to find survivors and answers…but you’re not alone. To survive, you’ll need to work together, keep your cool, and stay frosty to fight off relentless Xenomorph ambushes and get out alive.

Players can play up to nine different missions, taking them into different areas from the Hadley’s Hope terraforming facility to the deep, dark recesses of a Xenomorph nest. Aliens also offers an exciting campaign mode to play four of the missions linked together, so players will need to fight relentless Xenomorph attacks and keep each other alive all the way to the end of the campaign. The remaining two missions are purely about survival…it’s kill or be killed. The players are dropped into the game with nothing more than a pistol. They will need to scavenge weapons and gear while hordes of Xenomorph aliens are trying to defeat them. How long can you survive against the odds?”

The site notes that the 1-6 player game will be released first quarter, 2019.
