Fan Game ‘Alien: Hope For The Future’ Nearly Complete, Looking For Testers
About three months ago, a Patreon appeared for a fan game inspired by the Alien series in Alien: Hope For The Future. While we were hopeful at the time, some of us also had the sinking feeling that Fox/Disney would slap a DCMA on the project and kill it. Well, not only is the project still going, they have now released a video touting the game to be over 80% complete!
Not only that, the creator of the project, a man named Alexey Melentev, is asking for beta testers via Patreon. Apparently, gameplay will consist of three modes, including one mode that has you against a Xenomorph, where you need to hide and use resources to survive. In other words, very similar to Alien: Isolation.
You can check out Alexey’s stream of the beta below. No release date has been set for the game, though that’s contingent on certain companies allowing the project to even see the light of day.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
