Obsidian and Gearbox To Develop SEGA's Alien??? News

By Jon Wilcox on 12/12/2006

The official European website for SEGA's upcoming Alien titles reveal more...

Did SEGA Europe reveal more than they should have about the deal to produce titles based on the Alien franchise?

Yesterday the publisher confirmed that at least two titles set in the Alien universe would be released from 2009 onwards (one an RPG, the other an FPS), but a disclaimer on the European website for the game listed two extra little details not mentioned in SEGA's press release - the two development studios involved.

According to the now removed disclaimer, the two studios will be Obsidian Entertainment (recent producers of Neverwinter Nights 2) and Gearbox (Brothers in Arms series); given the heritage of both studios, it's not difficult to determine which outfit is producing the RPG and which is creating the FPS...

It's a near-certainly that the Alien FPS will be developed with Unreal Engine 3 given Gearbox's decision to create its next-generation projects with Epic's technology.

SEGA confirmed back in March that they'd signed a deal with Obsidian Entertainment for an untitled RPG.

We'll have more news shortly...

Are you kidding me? I still play the first AVP game, it is the greatest rendition of all the aliens games combimed... except maybe the side scrolling avp game in an arcade machine.... Xbox360 version of the original AVP would be one of the best things ever to happen.

This will be awsome if they don't screw up the original horror theme of the films

I remember the old PC game, Alien vs Predator where you could play as either an Alien, Predator or Marine. Great game in its day. Would be great to see that updated for the 360!
