When Survios unleashed their much-anticipated horror-shooter, Alien: Rogue Incursion last week, the inclusion of a ‘Part One’ label left many fans scratching their heads. Was this a complete game, or just the first installment of an episodic series? The release on PC VR and PSVR 2 indeed prompted some speculation about the nature of the game’s content.
Concerns among players were understandable, as no one wants to feel like they’re only getting half of the experience. However, rest assured, this is indeed a full game, promising around eight hours of intense gameplay. We delved into the details in our review and awarded it a solid [7/10] for its chilling environments and the adrenaline-pumping battles with Xenomorphs, albeit noting some repetition in enemies and a challenging save feature.
Survios quickly addressed the confusion via a post on X, clarifying that the ‘Part One’ designation wasn’t an indication of the game being released in fragments. Instead, it signifies that this stands as the first chapter of a two-part saga. Thankfully, fans won’t have to wait too long for the continuation—Part Two is already in the works, promising even tougher adversaries and formidable challenges to test your mettle. Exciting news for those of us who enjoy a good fright.
Looking ahead, we’re keeping a keen eye on how the Quest version performs when it lands on Quest 3/3S, slated for release on February 13th, 2025. The game’s intricate levels, impressive textures, and physics-based gameplay likely influenced the delay in its Quest debut.
Here’s the full statement from Survios to shed more light on the situation:
"To our valued community,
We have recently received a lot of feedback about the inclusion of “Part One” in Alien: Rogue Incursion’s opening moments, within the achievement/trophy list, and store pages. Never did we intend to mislead or cause confusion about what this game is, and we now understand how the addition of “Part One” could be interpreted.
Part One is a standalone adventure which ends with a cliffhanger, and we wanted fans to know that there would be more on the horizon, so we decided to confirm Part Two alongside the launch. The entire team at Survios are fans of the Alien universe, and cannot wait to tell more stories about Zula, Davis, and others.
While we have nothing to announce about Part Two, beyond that it is actively in development, we promise to share more exciting updates at a later date. We appreciate the excitement and passion you have shown towards Alien: Rogue Incursion, and hope that you enjoy exploring Purdan and Castor’s Cradle as much as we enjoyed creating it."
