When Survios dropped their highly-anticipated horror shooter, Alien: Rogue Incursion (2024), last week, fans were taken aback by a label they hadn’t expected—‘Part One.’ No, this doesn’t mean you’re just getting half the game with your purchase; rather, it signifies a promise of more thrilling content to come.
The launch on PC VR and PSVR 2 stirred some confusion about what this ‘Part One’ might entail. Were players receiving a complete game, or was it being served up in episodic portions?
Our comprehensive review assures that the eight-hour venture stands as a full-fledged game, garnering a solid [7/10]. It successfully draws players into its gripping environments and heart-pounding encounters with fearsome packs of Xenomorphs, though enemy repetition and a rigorous saving system do dampen the experience somewhat.
Addressing the ambiguity around ‘Part One’, Survios took to X to explain that it never intended to bewilder players. They clarified that the label doesn’t imply a piecemeal release strategy. Although the first installment concludes on a cliffhanger, it merely marks the beginning of a two-part narrative.
Rest assured, Part Two is already underway, as confirmed last week by Survios, promising deadlier adversaries and even tougher challenges ahead—news that is music to every gamer’s ears.
As we stay tuned for Part Two, we’re also watching closely how the game’s release on Quest will be received upon its arrival for Quest 3/3S on February 13, 2025. Our review highlights that the game showcases dynamically loading levels, detailed textures, and numerous physics-based interactions, factors that likely contributed to the initial delay in its Quest debut.
Here’s the full statement from Survios:
“To our valued community,
Recently, we’ve received considerable feedback regarding the ‘Part One’ designation in Alien: Rogue Incursion’s opening scenes, achievement/trophy list, and store pages.
We never intended to mislead or puzzle anyone about the game’s nature. We now understand how the ‘Part One’ label might have been misconstrued.
Part One stands as an independent adventure, ending with a cliffhanger, and we wanted to assure fans that more is on the way. Therefore, we revealed Part Two alongside the launch. As fans of the Alien universe ourselves, the Survios team is excited to unfold more stories about Zula, Davis, and others.
While there is nothing more to disclose about Part Two at this moment besides it being fully in development, we promise to share thrilling updates when the time is right.
We are grateful for the enthusiasm and passion you’ve shown toward Alien: Rogue Incursion and hope that your journey through Purdan and Castor’s Cradle will be as enjoyable for you as it was for us to develop.”
Stay tuned for more developments, and enjoy delving deeper into the Alien world!
