‘Aliens: Dark Descent’ tells a new kind of video game story about Xenomorphs
What is Aliens: Dark Descent?
This trailer is more of a scene-setter than it is a full-blown gameplay reveal, but the official description describes it as a “single player squad-based action game set within the iconic Alien franchise.” And if you watch all the way through, you’ll catch a brief handful of glimpses at in-game environments that hint at what’s to come.
The 2023 release from Tindalos Interactive and published by Focus Entertainment looks like a top-down action game, which is to say you’re controlling characters and seeing the action unfold from a slightly canted bird’s-eye view. Any other info will have to wait for another time, as the trailer is woefully short on specifics.
Aliens: Dark Descent is coming to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox sometime in 2023.
