Alien: Rogue Incursion is changing the game this September with a highly anticipated non-VR release on PS5 and Steam. Developed by Survios, this action-horror adventure is stepping away from its original headset requirements, making it accessible to a wider audience.
After debuting in December for PSVR 2 and PCVR, gamers stepped into the boots of ex-Colonial Marine Zula Hendricks. Players, accompanied by the ever-reliable synth companion Davis 01, set off on a perilous mission to the mysterious planet Purdan, with the aim of uncovering the dark secrets behind Weyland-Yutani’s black-site operations. Naturally, the tension quickly escalates as the iconic Xenomorphs emerge to hunt down the unsuspecting team.
Survios characterizes Alien: Rogue Incursion as the first part of a two-part saga. However, even standalone, it promises an exhilarating experience with a “thrilling cliffhanger” to keep players on their toes. The newly announced non-VR version, known as Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition, has been described as “re-envisioned” for console and PC. While details are still unfolding, hints of “even deadlier Xenomorphs and stunning graphics” have already sparked excitement within the gaming community.
Although the original game has received a ‘mixed’ reception on Steam—largely due to some AI glitches and performance hiccups—many players appreciate its attempt to stay true to the beloved sci-fi franchise. The important takeaway here is that Alien: Rogue Incursion has a solid premise, paving the way for its Evolved Edition, which is set to launch on September 30th for both PlayStation 5 and Steam.
For gamers eager to delve into this universe, there are two options: the Standard Edition priced at $29.99, which includes just the base game, and the Deluxe Edition for $39.99. The latter offers not only the base game but also a striking Blue Camo armor skin, a matching weapon skin, and the in-game art book, “The Art of Alien: Rogue Incursion.” However, it remains uncertain if current owners of the VR version will gain access to this fresh take without incurring additional costs.
To sum it up: Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition hits the shelves on September 30th, ready to immerse players in its terrifying world. And if all this Alien chatter has put you in the mood for some more thrills, perhaps revisit Creative Assembly’s seminal title, Alien: Isolation, which has been terrorizing gamers for a decade now and remains a high-water mark in survival horror.
