Aliens: Dark Descent gets a brief first bit of Xenomorph-filled gameplay
The upcoming, tactical squad-based action game Aliens: Dark Descent got its first bit of gameplay shown off during the Disney & Marvel Games Showcase at D23.
First revealed back in June, Aliens: Dark Descent is a new single-player action game set to launch in 2023 from Tindalos Interactive and Focus Entertainment, but no gameplay was shown at the time. Now, although only briefly, we’ve had our first look at the squad-based shooter in action.
The trailer shows the top-down game in action, where you “take your squad of marines on missions as you infiltrate and investigate the Xenomorph outbreak. Develop your tactics, assemble your colonial marines, and take on the Xenomorph hordes.”

Aliens: Fireteam Elite DLC lets you fight the alien queen
The lesson of the new Aliens: Fireteam Elite DLC, the Pathogen Expansion, is that you should be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it. Developer Cold Iron Studios says it’s listened to fans who have asked to fight the alien queen in the co-op game – and that’s just what they’ll be doing in the Pathogen Expansion.

Aliens: Dark Descent missions can take ‘anywhere between 20 minutes and an hour’
After the initial showing of Aliens: Dark Descent, you’ve probably got a lot of questions: is the game a sequel? Is Aliens: Dark Descent multiplayer? Can you play it only in single-player? When is this new Aliens game coming out? Well, after a hands-off session in Gamescom, Germany, we can at least help you out with the answers to a few of these burning questions.
First up, Aliens: Dark Descent is single-player only. The title is a squad-based, single-player action game that lands somewhere between Diablo and XCOM – at least to my eye. Playing through an original Alien story (set sometime after Alien 3, we’re told), you will command a squad of marines in real-time combat against the Xenomorph threat. You’ll need to think about troop placement, the terror levels of your crew, and how long your traps and tools can hold up before needing repairs.
The setup is this: there’s a prelaunch screen where you’ll have an overview of your crew before every deployment, and once you’re done, you’ll be able to rifle through the various bits of detritus you’ve found to see if there’s anything particularly meaningful that you can salvage. Enter systems like item rarity, equipment slots, and such. But the actual meat of the game – the amount of time you’ll be exploring Moon Lethe with your (probably doomed) crew – that’s set at about “anywhere 20 minutes and an hour”.
