Aliens: Dark Descent is launching in 2023

During the Summer Game Fest show presented by Geoff Keighley, we have seen a bunch of new video games and new demos. One of the first titles to be announced was Aliens: Dark Descent from Focus Entertainment & Tindalos Interactive. That is right the Aliens franchise is making a return, but with a twist as this title is a top down shooter.

Aliens: Dark Descent is planned to launch in 2023 on PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series XlS, and PC.

You will command a squad of hardened Colonial Marines to stop a terrifying Xenomorph outbreak on Moon Lethe.

“Infiltrate large open levels and annihilate enemies with your squad, dispatching orders strategically and intuitively at the touch of a button. Tread carefully, as death is permanent and your foes will adapt their tactics to your actions while hunting you down. Forge unique paths for survival, uncovering shortcuts, creating safe zones, and setting up motion trackers in a persistent world where your actions impact levels forever.”

You will be able to customize your squad with a variety of classes which you can level up and specialize your soldiers. The customization ranges from weapons, armor and perks.

Here are more features from the game:

• Face off in a gripping original Alien story against iconic Xenomorph creatures ranging from Facehuggers to Praetorians, Alien Queens and many more, including rogue human commandos and a brand-new threat unique to this Alien storyline
• Lead strategically and change squad tactics from mission to mission, carefully managing your soldiers’ health, resources, and sanity, to avoid permanent team losses and mental breakdowns
• Forge unique paths for survival in a persistent world, uncovering shortcuts, creating safe zones and setting up motion trackers to stay one step ahead of these creatures
• Assemble and level up squads composed of 5 starting Marines classes, with dozens of specializations, unique abilities and weapons.
