Pre-Orders Now Live For ‘Aliens: Dark Descent’, Alongside New Trailer [Watch]
Not one to have Free League Publishing be the sole source of goodies on Alien Day, Focus Entertainment and Tindalos Interactive have revealed pre-orders for their upcoming RTS game Aliens: Dark Descent. Alongside pre-orders, a new trailer was dropped, giving us another look at Dark Descent‘s tactical gameplay.
Pre-orders for Aliens: Dark Descent are now available across all PlayStation and Xbox consoles, as well as PC. Pre-ordering the game now will net you the Lethe Recon Pack as a pre-order bonus. The pack includes an exclusive black Armor Set for your squad of Colonial Marines, alongside a “unique feline companion” to liven up the decks of your ship, the Otago.
Aliens: Dark Descent sees you commanding a team of marines in an original story to investigate a xenomorph outbreak on Moon Lethe. Alongside the standard xenomorphs, you’ll also face off against facehuggers, Praetorians, Queens more. That also includes rogue human commandos and a brand-new threat unique to this storyline.
As you might expect from an RTS, you’ll be issuing commands to your squad, including the use of skills. Thankfully, for those who like to plan things out, you can also slow time during hectic moments to issue orders. You’ll be able to choose from a set of five initial classes of marine, along with the ability to upgrade your team’s abilities, weapons, and armor.
But be careful, as you’ll have to manage and change squad tactics from mission to mission, all the while keeping an eye on your soldiers’ health, resources, and sanity, to avoid permanent team losses and mental breakdowns. And if your squadmates die, it’s permanent.
Aliens: Dark Descent is set to arrive on June 20 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
Dead by Daylight fans have another Tome launch today in Tome 19: SPLENDOR, bringing with it a new content update, the game’s next Modifier, a new Tome packed with unlockable rewards, and a major update to the in-game store. Accompanying the update will be several Outfit Collections, which will be arriving over the next couple of weeks.
After giving fans a taste of what’s to come with the time-limited Lights Out Modifier, Behaviour Interactive has introduced a new one with Chaos Shuffle, offering a completely different challenge. In the Chaos Shuffle Modifier, players will be jumping into Trials with randomly selected Perks from all of Dead by Daylight’s available Perks. However, instead of relying on tactics they’ve grown accustomed to, players will now have to contend and strategize with the Perks they’re dealt at the beginning of the match. Chaos Shuffle will be out soon.
Along with the new Modifier is the new Event Tome with SPLENDOR, packed with new challenges, memories, and classy rewards to Dead by Daylight, inspired by all things gold and silk. Players will unlock memories that offer a glimpse into The Artist and Zarina Kassir’s past, with new outfits for The Trickster, Nea Karlsson, Mikaela Reid, The Skull Merchant, and many more characters across the Free and Premium Tracks. Players who purchase the Rift Pass instantly unlock a gold-adorned Outfit for The Trapper, and those who complete the track are rewarded with a brutal Ultra Rare Outfit for The Doctor.
As for the in-game store, with over 30 Chapters packed with content and outfits for our numerous Survivors and Killers, the in-game store has been given a complete visual overhaul. The new interface allow players to easily find items that are on sale, cosmetics from a specific collection, as well as purchase bundles that contain multiple items at a discounted price.
Finally, there are the new Outfit Collections that are coming to Dead by Daylight in the coming weeks.
- The Forgotten Myth Collection brings a horrifying Visceral Legendary Outfit for The Huntress, complete with its own unique Mori.
- Metamorphosis manifests in different ways. The returning Chrysalis Collection reimagines both Killer and Survivor with butterfly or moth-inspired looks.
- The return of the Visions of the Future Collection offers new futuristic looks for several Survivors.
- A new addition to the Nicolas Cage Essentials Collection proves the actor needs no stylist to look cool.
- The Forgotten Garden Collection spreads botanical brutality to two Killers.
- The Cats & Dogs Collection brings more cozy sweaters to the game inspired by our furry friends.
Dead by Daylight is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
