SEGA announces that the Brothers in Arms developers will be developing a shooter based on the movie franchise...
SEGA of America and SEGA Europe have today confirmed that Gearbox will be developing a First-Person Shooter based on the Alien franchise - days after a disclaimer on the Alien website featured the studio's name.
The announcement comes closely after SEGA confirmed that Neverwinter Nights 2 developers Obsidian Entertainment would be creating an RPG also based on the 20th Century Fox Sci-Fi/Horror series.
"Gearbox Software has a storied history of bringing innovative and compelling design to the FPS category," said Simon Jeffery, President and COO, SEGA of America, Inc. "Combining their design talents with the intense action of the Alien franchise ensures that gamers will have an immersive and action-packed experience."
"The Alien series has been a tremendous influence for myself, the people at Gearbox Software and the video games industry in general," said Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software. "The opportunity to work with the amazing people at SEGA and Fox to build a next generation video game in the Alien universe is one of those dream projects that is a perfect fit for our capability and our passion."
The first of the two titles is due out on next-generation consoles from 2009.
