SEGA Confirms Obsidian For Alien News

By Jon Wilcox on 13/12/2006

Feargus Urquhart's RPG specialists are confirmed as developers for one of SEGA's Alien titles...now, where's Gearbox's confirmation...

SEGA of America and SEGA Europe have today confirmed Obsidian Entertainment as the developer of one of the recently announced Alien titles. Obsidian's most recent release was Neverwinter Nights 2 for Atari, and has previously developed Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords for LucasArts.

"With Obsidian Entertainment's development pedigree, they were our first choice to bring the Alien franchise to the RPG universe," said Simon Jeffery, President and COO, SEGA of America, Inc. "They are the only developer for us that could effectively combine the Alien mythology with compelling RPG gameplay to create the ultimate Alien experience."

"We are thrilled to be working with the great production and publishing teams at SEGA to deliver the ultimate in-depth Alien experience to gamers worldwide," said Feargus Urquhart, CEO of Obsidian Entertainment. "Building an epic RPG with a license as heralded as the Alien franchise is truly a great honor."

Confirmation of Obsidian's role in producing one of the titles comes a day after the European Alien site featured both Obsidian and Gearbox Software on the disclaimer at the bottom of the screen. Gearbox is yet to be confirmed as developer of the second Alien title by SEGA.

The first Alien title is expected to be released in 2009.

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!
