We've got a new Aliens game on the way! Aliens Dark Descent has been announced as part of Summer Game Fest 2022, and it's officially heading to Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S at some point next year.
In Aliens Dark Descent, you'll "drop into an original Alien story where you'll lead a squad of marines in real-time combat against the deadliest creature mankind has ever faced."
Here's a bit more information about the game, and you can check out the trailer above.
In Aliens: Dark Descent, command a squad of hardened Colonial Marines to stop a terrifying Xenomorph outbreak on Moon Lethe. Lead your soldiers in real-time combat against iconic Xenomorphs, rogue operatives from the insatiable Weyland-Yutani Corporation, and a host of horrifying creatures new to the Alien franchise.
Infiltrate large open levels and annihilate enemies with your squad, dispatching orders strategically and intuitively at the touch of a button. Tread carefully, as death is permanent and your foes will adapt their tactics to your actions while hunting you down. Forge unique paths for survival, uncovering shortcuts, creating safe zones, and setting up motion trackers in a persistent world where your actions impact levels forever.

Love me some Aliens, but man... I would love another survival horror game.
Single player (not another co-op yawnfest) and proper original aliens ticks the boxes for me...Been waiting for something like this since Alien Isolation
This looks gamepass AF
Sweet. That game sounds bad***. I'm in.
Man, IGN really did murder Isolation.....
Looked 'OK' but definitely work in progress...
@Kooky_Daisuke Fireteam Elite isn't crap, but the problem is it's designed around being a team and the AI is awful. Because no one really plays it, you end up suffering because you have to essentially solo content because the two synthetics that follow you are useless.
If you're playing with a well-coordinated group, it's fun.
The game really revealed the flawed thinking in the design behind these games. Not everyone will have a regular group of gaming friends, and will rely on matchmaking. And if you're relying on matchmaking, the game should be forgiving enough to accommodate for the lack of coordination and communication.
Additionally, all games that take this approach should have cross-play — no ifs of buts. It's one of the things that saved Rainbow Six: Extraction. That'd game would be super-dead without it.
Single player! Single player! Give us a single player Alien game. I love the top down perspective, but I hope it has single player campaign
another bad aliens game, are they rushing this one too.
