When Survios dropped Alien: Rogue Incursion (2024) last week, we thought we were getting the full package—but surprise! It turns out, it’s just the beginning. Rest assured, you’re not just purchasing a fragment of the game; instead, you’re stepping into a promise of more adventures on the horizon.
With its debut on PC VR and PSVR 2, players were puzzled by the unexpected ‘Part One’ tag. Doubts swirled—was this a complete game or are we in for episodic releases?
Our in-depth review made it clear that the experience, spanning eight thrilling hours, serves as a robust standalone game. Garnering a respectable 7 out of 10 for its immersive settings and adrenaline-pumping confrontations with relentless Xenomorph packs, the game could have improved by reducing enemy repetition and rethinking its tough save system.
In a recent post on X, Survios stepped forward to clear the air about the ‘Part One’ label. The studio emphasized they never intended to give an impression of piecemeal content. Although this adventure concludes with a cliffhanger, it’s merely the first half of a continuing tale.
Exciting news: Part Two is already underway! Survios has assured us of encountering even “deadlier enemies and more difficult challenges.” This is exactly the kind of thrill that keeps us on our toes.
We’re also eagerly awaiting the game’s arrival on Quest 3/3S, slated for a February 13th, 2025 release. As we mentioned in our review, the game boasts dynamically loading levels, intricate textures, and numerous physics-based interactions, which perhaps explains why Survios postponed the Quest launch initially.
Here’s the full statement from Survios for those who want more details:
