When Survios dropped their highly anticipated horror shooter, “Alien: Rogue Incursion,” last week, fans were in for a bit of a surprise with the sudden appearance of a ‘Part One’ label. The good news? You’re not getting just half a game. Instead, it’s a signal that more adventures are on the horizon.
With its debut on both PC VR and PSVR 2, many players were left wondering what this ‘Part One’ really entailed. Was it a full experience, or were we looking at an episodic release?
Upon diving into the game, it became clear that this eight-hour journey is indeed a complete experience, and we awarded it a [7/10]. Our score reflects the game’s immersive worlds and the heart-pounding moments created by the swarming Xenomorphs. However, these thrills occasionally falter due to repetitive enemy types and a harsh save system.
In response to the confusion, Survios took to social media platform X to clarify their intentions. The ‘Part One’ label wasn’t meant to spread misinformation or hint at an incomplete game. Although this stand-alone adventure ends with a cliffhanger, it’s only the first chapter of a two-part saga.
Enthusiasts have more to look forward to as Survios confirmed that Part Two is already in the works. This next installment promises tougher adversaries and even more formidable challenges, which is sure to excite fans.
Meanwhile, we’re eagerly waiting to see how the game performs on the Quest 3/3S when it launches on February 13th, 2025. Notable for its dynamic level loading, intricate textures, and robust physics interactions, it’s understandable why the studio opted to delay the Quest release initially.
Here’s the full message from Survios:
“Dear community,
We’ve heard your comments about the inclusion of ‘Part One’ within ‘Alien: Rogue Incursion,’ from its opening scenes to achievement lists and store pages.
It was never our intention to confuse or mislead regarding the game’s content. We recognize how the addition of ‘Part One’ might have been misunderstood.
This initial release is a complete stand-alone adventure with a cliffhanger ending. We wanted to reassure fans that more was on the way, hence our confirmation of Part Two at launch. Everyone at Survios shares a deep appreciation for the Alien universe and we are eager to explore more stories featuring Zula, Davis, and others.
While we haven’t disclosed any details about Part Two beyond its development status, we promise to provide thrilling updates in due time.
We are grateful for the enthusiasm and passion you’ve shown for ‘Alien: Rogue Incursion,’ and we hope you relish your time on Purdan and Castor’s Cradle as much as we enjoyed bringing it to life.”
Stay tuned for more updates in the Alien saga!
