‘Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition’ Adds Xbox Release Ahead of Launch [Trailer]
With a few weeks to go before Alien: Rogue Incursion – Part One: Evolved Edition, Survios has not only released the launch trailer for the game, but also announced that Rogue Incursion will be headed to the Xbox Series on its September 30 launch, alongside the previously-announced PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Pre-orders are also now available on the Xbox Series.
Originally released as a VR game for the PlayStation VR 2 and SteamVR, in Alien: Rogue Incursion – Part One, players step into the boots of rogue Colonial Marine Zula Hendricks in the first chapter of an original two-part saga set between the Alien and Aliens films. While investigating a distress call on the remote planet Purdan, Zula uncovers a secret Gemini Exoplanet Solutions blacksite facility overrun by Xenomorphs. Aided by her synthetic companion, Davis 01, Zula must fight to survive against the ferocious and unpredictable threat of the Xenomorph incursion.
Rebuilt for console and PC with Xenomorphs that have evolved to be smarter, faster, more adaptive, and harder to both predict and kill, Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition delivers a cinematic action-horror experience with stunning upgraded visuals, 60 FPS, 3D audio, DualSense controller integration and more.
Alien: Rogue Incursion – Part One: Evolved Edition launches on September 30 at $29.99, with the Digital Deluxe Edition available for $39.99. The latter includes Blue Camo armor andweapon skins, and “The Art of Alien: Rogue Incursion” digital in-game art book.
When Season 7 “Project Boneyard” arrives for The Outlast Trials on July 14, players will be greeted with the return of Prime Asset Sergeant Leland Coyle. And he’s not alone. Launching for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation, and Xbox, Project Boneyard will include a new Trial, two fresh MK-Challenges, major updates to Escalation and Invasion, new customization features, and a new Ex-Pop enemy stalking the Prison Farm known as The Biter.
Season 7 will see Reagents sent into Murkoff’s latest correctional nightmare in the Prison Farm. At the center of it all is Sergeant Coyle, returning in a prominent new role for the season’s new Trial, Locksock the Warden.
The American prison is a meat grinder, taking in sociopaths and criminals and extruding functioning members of society. But strict routine, severe conditioning, and close quarters create a crucible for power dynamics built on violence, contraband, and flesh.
With the new Trial, you are freedom. The indefinable promise that keeps prisoners at the grindstone that turns authority to profit and back again. Don’t let false authority stand in the way of real capital. Kill the Warden, and set yourself free.
Season 7 also brings with it two new MK-Challenges. In “Bribe the Judges”, you are the master, whose property is the purpose of the law. Salary reminds enforcement that their monopoly of violence only exists for your monopoly of capital. Collect the bribes in order to pay the judges. Meanwhile, “Cancel the Broadcast” has you sabotaging the broadcast and defiling the faithful with blood in order to be let out.
Then there’s the new Ex-Pop stalking the Prison Farm in The Biter. Having had its arms removed to prevent further self-harm, Biters are universal sadists, still capable of grievous harm with their mechanically enforced jaws. Though Biters are kept chained by the neck for safety, you should approach them with caution, as their augmented legs grant them unexpected velocity.
If that’s not enough content for you, from July 14 to August 11, Twitch users who tune in to participating The Outlast Trials Twitch streams can earn rewards through the latest Twitch Drops campaign. You can read up on the full details from the FAQ on developer The Red Barrels’ website.
Lastly, Project Boneyard also introduces a range of new features and improvements for The Outlast Trials, designed to “expand player expression, streamline preparation, and improve the overall experience” across key modes. That includes the introduction of Rig Customization, Knife Customization, Loadout Presets, and Mastery Tasks, giving players new ways to “prepare for therapy” and personalize their approach before entering the Trials. The update will also bring major reworks to both Escalation and Invasion, with significant changes designed to improve the flow, structure, and overall player experience of both modes.
More details on these features, and the full contents of Project Boneyard, will be revealed closer to launch.
