The marines are heading out to face off with the Aliens as pre-orders open up for the upcoming Aliens: Dark Descent
The gates are open and the pre-orders are ready for us to make when it comes to Aliens: Dark Descent. Something that feels more and more like an odd thing to do when there is not a limited or exclusive version out there for a game in today’s market. Nonetheless, Tindalos Interactive would like to try to get some of the early hype out there for the game with June 20th rolling up quickly, so here we are with this latest announcement. Thankfully, it also comes along with some new gameplay and other tidbits to show off what we will actually be getting in Aliens: Dark Descent when it does hit the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The pre-order part is just the extra part we needed to get out there too.
Let us dive into the gameplay for Aliens: Dark Descent as we take on some new threats in the universe of the IP. Not only with some different and shocking Xenomorphs out there but with some hybrids that we might not have expected our marines to have to encounter as of yet. We are going to have to take care while giving out commands to the Marines in real-time so they do not die, but if they do, we will be able to head out and recruit more. All in the way of the big corporation that wants to keep all these things for themselves. You do not have to just take my word for it all, as you can peep just a little lower and see what is going to be growing the Alien universe just a little more and soon.
Aliens: Dark Descent — Pre-Order
Pre-orders for Aliens: Dark Descent are now open with a thrilling, brand-new trailer. Get ready for an original Alien story showcased in today’s cinematic trailer with glimpses of its tactical gameplay. A spatial treat in honor — and in horror — of Alien Day!
In Aliens: Dark Descent, the horrors, and wonders of an authentic Alien narrative unfold through a cinematic campaign full of sinister secrets, iconic Xenomorphs, and brand-new threats. A range of tactical abilities come into play to recruit, level up and command a squad of Colonial Marines in real-time and as one unit with intuitive controls on both keyboard & mouse and controller. Any command issued over comms is swiftly obeyed by the Marine best equipped for the situation according to their abilities and equipment. Players will need to use their wits to navigate expansive, persistent, and reactive levels. However, each marine’s vitals should be monitored cautiously — for death is permanent.
Aliens: Dark Descent, a strategic, real-time squad-based tactical action game, will launch worldwide on June 20, 2023, for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
How do you think this is going to shape the Alien universe in the long run or will it stick to being its own little thing moving forward? Will we ever run out of marines to throw at the problem or will there be a mechanic in the game that will hinder us from doing just that? What do you suspect is going on with the hybrids and is it something other than what many of us are going to be assuming out there? Take to the comments and then discuss it as you wish to do out there. More for Aliens: Dark Descent should be coming down the pipes soon, so please keep checking in on the site for all of that and everything else we have to offer up.
