Ahead of Aliens: Dark Descent launching next week, Focus Entertainment and developer Tindalos Interactive have released a new story trailer for the upcoming RTS. The trailer starts off quiet, but soon hints at something sinister going on that spills over into Planet Lethe having a Xenomorph infestation.
The nightmarish story begins in Aliens: Dark Descent when the Otago spacecraft crash lands on Planet Lethe after a Xenomorph escapes containment, causing the activation of the Cerberus Protocol — a planetary lockdown preventing all ships from leaving or landing on the planet. What results is Maeko Hayes, Deputy Administrator at Lethe’s Pioneer Station, and a group of marines having not only to battle the Xenomorphs—from Facehuggers to Praetorians, Alien Queens and many more—but also rogue human commandos and a brand-new threat.
Aliens: Dark Descent tasks players with taking on real-time combat. Using a range of tactical abilities, you’ll recruit, level up and command a squad of Colonial Marines as one unit with intuitive controls on keyboard and mouse, as well as on controller. Players will need to use their wits to navigate expansive, persistent and reactive levels, as if they fail, death for their squad is permanent.
Aliens: Dark Descent will launch on June 20 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. Pre-orders are still available.
