It’s been almost a decade since Creative Assembly’s critically acclaimed Alien Isolation, and despite the rumors, its sequel has yet to be officially confirmed. However, there are other titles in the space sci-fi franchise on the way. It is the case of Aliens: Dark Descentwhich has now revealed its release date in a new gameplay offered by the portal IGN and that you can see below. The video, more than two minutes long, shows us what the gameplay of this Tindalos Interactive game will be like, which will be part of the real-time tactical strategy genre and, therefore, will offer a radically different experience than that of Isolation. It also confirms that it will arrive on June 20.
Here’s your first look at Aliens: Dark Descent. Check out this upcoming strategy game that will feature a original story within the Alien universe. In this gameplay trailer we learn that our ship has crashed on the planet Lethe and that your job will be to investigate the xenomorph outbreak. Aliens: Dark Descent challenges us to recruit and level up a group of Colonial Marines as we explore the dangerous planet. Strategically place your team to ensure your passage through the area, but be careful, as the death is permanent”, reads the description of the video that you will find above these lines.

Thus, Aliens: Dark Descent will arrive next June 20, 2023 to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and other platforms. The Tindalos title will come two years after Aliens: Fireteam Elite, the last great game in the Alien franchise that couldn’t live up to Isolation either. On that occasion it was a cooperative multiplayer shooter in which we had to face hordes of xenomorphs as a team. Now the license will try its hand at the real-time strategy genre.
