When Survios unleashed their highly anticipated horror-shooter, Alien: Rogue Incursion (2024) last week, fans didn’t realize they were stepping into a ‘Part One’ of the series. But rest assured, you’re not just getting a fraction of the experience with your purchase—there’s plenty more on the horizon.
Upon its launch for PC VR and PSVR 2, many players were puzzled by the newly added ‘Part One’ label. Questions arose: is this the full game or is it being broken into episodes?
In our comprehensive review, we rated the eight-hour journey a robust 7 out of 10. The game captivates with its immersive settings and heart-pounding encounters with raptor-like Xenomorph hordes. However, the experience was slightly marred by repetitive enemies and a stringent save system.
Recently, Survios addressed the labeling confusion in a post on X. The studio emphasized that ‘Part One’ was not intended to imply an incomplete release with content being doled out piecemeal. While the standalone story does end on a cliffhanger, it simply signifies part one of a broader two-part narrative.
Excitingly, Survios confirmed last week that Part Two is already in the works, promising "deadlier enemies and more challenging trials.” That’s definitely something for fans to look forward to.
In the meantime, we’re anticipating the Quest release, slated for February 13th, 2025, on Quest 3/3S. As pointed out in our review, the game boasts dynamically loading levels, impressive texture details, and a slew of physics-based interactions. These elements likely contributed to the studio’s decision to delay the Quest version initially.
For a more detailed look, here’s Survios’ full statement:
To our valued community,
We’ve noticed your feedback regarding the ‘Part One’ label in Alien: Rogue Incursion, whether during opening moments, in achievement/trophy lists, or on store pages.
It was never our intention to mislead or create confusion about the game’s scope. We understand how adding ‘Part One’ might lead to misunderstandings.
‘Part One’ is a complete, standalone adventure that concludes with a cliffhanger. We intended to alert fans that more content is forthcoming, which is why Part Two’s confirmation came alongside the game’s launch. The whole Survios team are huge fans of the Alien universe, and we’re eager to continue narrating the tales of Zula, Davis, and more.
While there’s no specific news to share yet about Part Two, beyond its ongoing development, we promise more thrilling updates in the future.
We greatly appreciate the enthusiasm and passion you’ve shown for Alien: Rogue Incursion, and we hope you enjoy exploring Purdan and Castor’s Cradle as much as we loved creating them.
Stay tuned for what comes next in this evolving saga.
