Aliens: Dark Descent, a new game in the iconic sci-fi horror series, has been announced at Summer Game Fest. The Alien series has a long-running history within gaming, both good and bad. Some of the most notable examples come from games like Aliens: Colonial Marines, a game that was torn apart by fans and critics alike for being a complete disaster. It was meant to be the first-person shooter Alien fans had been craving for years, but fell apart at the seams and was widely ridiculed as one of the worst AAA games ever made. After that, Alien: Isolation came along and helped redefine the horror space by creating a true, terrifying experience of being chased by a Xenomorph across a ship throughout a lengthy story. Finally, last year, Aliens: Fireteam Elite helped fulfill some of what Colonial Marines failed to deliver on, except in third-person. Players could take on hordes of aliens in co-op and rip them apart with tech, big guns, and much more.
