[Video] Modder Turns ‘Alien Isolation’ into ‘Aliens Isolation’ by Adding More Xenomorphs
We’ve talked about Sega’s Alien Isolation several times this past month. And why not? The game just hit its five-year anniversary, it’s still scary as hell to play, and the modding community is still strong.
In fact, one modder, Matt Filer, has just created a mod that cranks the game’s difficulty up, and while it might fly in the face of the game’s story, it’s definitely worth it if you like your challenge.
Matt’s “Aliens Isolation” mod (which is still being worked on) is simple: Instead of one Xenomorph, why not have two? Or three? Or eight?! Yeah, it’s a pretty simple idea, but if you’ve played the game on its highest difficulty, you know how hairy it gets with just one Xenomorph. Keep an eye out for this one, and enjoy the fear.
And while you’re at it, do check out Matt’s other mods for Alien Isolation.
Five years on and I’m still modding Alien: Isolation. For anyone who said the game was too easy, this one’s for you.https://t.co/idyyQJS3jd

New Launch Trailer for ‘Alien: Rogue Incursion’ Gets the Adrenaline and Terror Flowing [Video]
Ahead of the release of Alien: Rogue Incursion tomorrow, Survios has unveiled the launch trailer for the VR title, showing off plenty of action while also showcasing the creepy environments of the Purdan colony.
Alien: Rogue Incursion is an all-new single-player, action-horror VR game featuring an original story that “fully immerses players within the terrors of the Alien universe.” Players take on the role of Zula Hendricks (voiced by Andia Winslow), who is accompanied by her AI companion and sentient combat synthetic, Davis 01 (voiced by Robbie Daymond).
When Hendricks receives an SOS from former squadmate Benjamin Carver, she and Davis 01 head to the remote planet of LV-354, aka Purdan, to investigate a remote mining colony. Before they know it, deeply personal stakes emerge to plunge both Zula and Davis deeper into the dark heart of Purdan to expose – and escape – the Xenomorph infestation lurking within.
As you might surmise, the Xenomorphs can intelligently use the environment to find the best angle of attack and appear from anywhere around you. Combat is dynamic, and can happen based on your actions. Xenomorphs spawning is reactive to your movements. Make a lot of noise, and you can expect company.
Alien: Rogue Incursion will land for the PlayStation VR 2 and PC via Steam on December 19th. The Meta Quest 3 version will arrive on February 13.
