It’s been revealed thatShogun 2: Total Wardeveloper Creative Assembly is working on a new Aliens game. Details are sparse, but it’s been confirmed toRPSto be an action title, with the studio bumping up its employees considerably for the project.
Amusingly, it wasn’t the game’s publisher, SEGA, that spilled the beans, but a British politician. Game supporter and UK Minister for Culture Ed Vaizey recently took a trip to Creative Assembly’s studio, and heTweetedthat the game was in the works.
“Great visit to Creative Assembly one of UK’s best developers. Now hiring for new blockbuster based onAlien,” he said, also bigging up the graphics, which are “out of this world.”
Interesting stuff indeed. The guys who made the decent-but-not-greatViking: Battle for Asgardwill be handling the title, andDead Space 2has beennamecheckedas an inspiration. We’ll have to wait and find out more, but I’m always down for moreAliensgames.
