There, she finds the Gemini Exoplanet Solutions facility overrun by vicious xenomorphs and must fight to survive while exposing a dark corporate secret.
The game retains the core narrative and mechanics of the original release but has been rebuilt to suit console and PC gameplay. Players rely on stealth and limited ammunition to survive against hostile xenomorphs that stalk them from walls, ceilings, and vents. Spatial sound design is a key feature, with players often hearing the creatures before seeing them. A motion tracker and iconic weaponry like the pulse rifle and shotgun feature, alongside new enhancements to enemy behaviour and world interaction.
The game was written by Alien novelist Alex White. Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition and its VR counterpart are part of a planned two-part storyline with a second instalment is confirmed to be in development.
