The iconic xenomorphs are set to make the leap onto next-gen consoles in 2009 courtesy of SEGA...
It's been just under ten years since a cloned Ellen Ripley fought against the acid-for-blood xenomorphs in Alien: Resurrection, but the iconic creatures are set to feature in a new set of next-gen videogames from 2009 courtesy of SEGA.
A deal between the publisher and Alien IP owners 20th Century Fox will see a number of titles, including a First-Person Shooter and a Role-Playing Game, released. According to further reports originating from The Hollywood Reporter, the games won't follow the storyline of the four movies, but will remain immersed in the Alien universe.
"As a direct result of Fox's efforts over the past 27 years, Alien has become one of the most recognised franchises in the motion picture industry," said Simon Jeffery, President and Chief Operating Officer, SEGA of America, Inc. "SEGA will utilise the power of next-gen systems to blend the time-honoured story with leading edge design technology to deliver a riveting and suspenseful gameplay experience."
"Alien is one of those special franchises that has continued to thrive in licensing long after it has left theaters. The L & M program [Licensing & Merchandising] has been very successful over the years because we have partnered with the best companies in each category and created appealing products that become must-haves for the extremely loyal Alien fans." added Elie Dekel, Executive Vice President, Fox Licensing & Merchandising. "We look forward to partnering with SEGA, a known leader in the gaming industry, to expand the program to the next generation gaming systems and bring the franchise to life with the newest technology and gameplay."
The upcoming titles won't be the first time that SEGA has dabbled with the Alien brand; back in 1993 the publisher launched Alien3: The Gun for arcades, which included a couple of meaty moulded assault rifles on the cabinet.
We'll have more news shortly...

i hate this bloody waiting bull crap its been how bloody long cmon sega over 5 years now whats the bloody problem.avp was a waste of gaming time then u go and cut support for the only aliens based game we had.this game should be ready now as an apology for the crap we put up with from publishers and devs like u pull out and sell the bloody liscence to a company that knows how fans feel sod sonic and what ever crap ur working on now and get urselfs a decent game out

This is BS - AvP is horrible and all the previous AvP games have been mediocre at best. I'm so mad about this right now. I thought the guy in the Gamestop store had lost his mind when he told me "Next Year". Alien and Aliens need a game of this calibur to bring it back strong. Pushed out over a year? Yeah right - we'll be lucky to ever see this game. I will not be purchasing another crappy AvP game.

I got a funny feeling that this may turn out just like the other aliens:colonial marines a no show! which will really piss me off along with other alien fans,dont get me wrong i love AVP, but would really like this game
Added:Tue 15th Sep 2009 07:04, Post No: 6
Listen I really think they need to come out with this game first due to the fact of well what if we do not like AVP ok what then you are not going to put out Alien:colonial marines. I mean ths game is already done why don't you guys just send it out for us to see what it is like and then when you guys get finished with AVP since you guys are not even done making it we might get it if we like that alien game.

Well considering Aliens: Colonial Marines wont be out till 2010, it's an easy choice surely?

I just saw that this game was coming out when I was looking through an Xbox 360 magazine. I think I'm a little torn on which to save my money on, Aliens: Colonial Marines, or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2(By the way, that's coming out November tenth of this year!!!:)!!!)

I hope the rumours of SEGA pulling funding arent true - a dedicated Aliens game is much better then this AvP crap.

I can't believe this, thought the no show was suspcious. Why can't Gearbox get stuff out in time?

I wonder what they got planned.
