Sure thing, let’s dive in — even if it feels like stumbling through a dimly-lit room without a flashlight.
Okay, so Survios, yeah? They’ve decided, not sure why now, but whatever, to take this thing called Alien: Rogue Incursion — you might’ve heard about it, had a bit of a rollercoaster reception on PSVR 2 and PC VR headsets last year — and give it a new lease on life. This time for PC and PS5, dubbing it the ‘Evolved Edition.’ Fancy, huh? It’s like giving an old car a new set of wheels and calling it a sports car. Maybe it works. I dunno.
Backtrack moment here: when it first dropped, people were, like, split down the middle. Some were all hyped, others…I guess, not so much? They’ve apparently patched things up since, tweaking how those creepy Xenomorphs behave. Less of a déjà vu vibe now. Maybe.
But wait, there’s more—a re-envisioned (kind of a big word, isn’t it?) version is hitting the digital shelves, on Steam and PlayStation Store, September 30, 2025. Mark the date or don’t. Up to you.
Jumping to the storyline — picture yourself tagging along with Zula Hendricks. This ex-Colonial Marine’s got beef with Weyland-Yutani and drags us to some spooky planet, Purdan. You, Zula, and a synth buddy called Davis 01 — yeah, he’s got a number, not sure why — end up at this Gemini Solutions place bursting with those nasty Xenomorphs. Loads of sneaking around and blasting things to bits. It’s Part One of Two. Because, why not? They love a good cliffhanger.
What’s up with Part Two? Who knows. More danger, they say. Maybe similar delays between VR and flatscreen releases, maybe not. Your guess is as good as mine.
Here’s the kicker. Survios has this trend of first making these VR-centric games and then turning them flat. Remember the Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions? That was before, from the VR boxing ring to an arcade brawler. So, Alien’s not their first rodeo.
Does it all boil down to something insightful? Honestly, who can say? But it’s sure a wild ride keeping up with them.
