Mobile Game ‘Alien: Blackout’ to Be Delisted From App Stores on October 31
Five years after it first launched, 505 Go Inc.’s mobile action-adventure title Alien: Blackout is being sunset at the end of the month. The game’s official X account relayed the announcement to fans, saying that the game will remain available to purchase for iOS and Android devices for $0.99 USD until October 31.
“We have made the hard decision to sunset Alien: Blackout,” reads the statement. “To allow all of our players ample time to finalise their adventures, Alien: Blackout will remain available on the App Store, Google Play, and Amazon store for the next 30 days, sunsetting on October 31, 2023. After October 31, 2023, all development and support for this game will cease and the game will no longer be available on the App Store, Google Play, or Amazon store, but will remain playable for anyone that purchased before the sunset date.”
“We want to thank all our players and teams for joining us on this thrilling adventure.”
Alien: Blackout takes place after the events of Alien: Isolation (though publisher FoxNext stressed that it was not a sequel to Isolation), and follows Ellen Ripley’s daughter Amanda, who is trapped aboard a crippled Weyland-Yutani research station. The station also has a Xenomorph problem.
Similar to Five Nights at Freddy‘s, the player must guide the crew to safety by relying on the damaged controls of the space station to cut power and seal doors to prevent the Xenomorph from attacking the crew. However, you only have a limited amount of power to rely on, so you must choose wisely.

Upcoming “Unholy Alliance” Update for ‘Cult of the Lamb’ Adds Local Co-op and More [Teaser]
Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.
With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.
The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.
In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.
More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
