Deux Ex studio Eidos Montreal is reportedly developing an Alien game

Most Alien fans at this point are looking forward to the long-awaited Alien Isolation 2. However, that isn't the only new Alien game in development. According to reports this week, there is a second mystery survival horror game in the works. 

Insider Gaming has learned that a new Alien game is in development. The title was revived recently after initially being planned back in 2020 and will offer a mix of combat, platforming and puzzles. The main character is said to be an engineer named Aubrey, who gets around the ship with a pair of magnetic boots and a grappling hook, essentially making this ‘Shadow of the Tomb Raider' but with Aliens.

The game is also apparently being made by Eidos Montreal, the studio behind Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided. Unfortunately, this likely means we won't be seeing Adam Jensen again anytime soon.

The new Alien game is said to be targeting a 2028 release window, with a budget of over $70 million. The studio will have to hope that the game doesn't end up clashing with Alien isolation 2, which began development in 2024, as that is a more established Alien sub-franchise with a large following.

KitGuru Says: With Alien Isolation 2 already on the way, I'm not sure what to think of this. It sounds like it will be similar in some ways, taking place on a large space station, with a character working their way through different parts of the ship, all the while dodging Xenomorphs.
