Five Key Takeaways From the New Alien Deathstorm Trailer
Rebellion has unveiled a new trailer for Alien Deathstorm, offering five key insights into the upcoming sci-fi action horror shooter. Head of Design Ben Fisher highlighted the game's intense gameplay, dynamic alien threats, and unique mission structure during its reveal at gamescom.
The Mega-Storm: The game is set on an off-world colony that has lost contact with Earth. Players take on the role of an Engineer arriving to find a situation far worse than anticipated. A cataclysmic mega-storm is tearing the planet apart, creating an ever-present and escalating danger that threatens life on a massive scale.
The Reactor: The trailer showcases the "Reactor" mission, which occurs midway through the game. Players must fight their way into a malfunctioning fission reactor to repair it and restore power. This involves navigating menacing underground substations and exposed flare stacks filled with deadly ambushes.
Mission Structure: Following the approach seen in Atomfall, objectives appear as readouts from the player's digital assistant, Squire. Players must diagnose situations and piece together their own solutions at their own pace. This creates a tense contrast when the alien threat begins hunting.
Alien Threats: The aliens are highly intelligent, deadly creatures that hunt in packs and use the environment to their advantage. They dynamically adapt, stalk, and attack based on the scenario. At gamescom, four types were revealed: Soldiers, Scuttlers, Blister Scuttlers, and Scuttler Swarms. Combat is brutal, emphasizing survival over being a super soldier.
Weapons and Tools: The trailer displays a pistol, SMG, and shotgun, with more weapons to be revealed before launch. Players can find blueprints for upgrades like optics, stocks, barrels, and magazines to 3D print and add to their arsenal. An engineer's trusty hammer serves as both a repair tool and a melee weapon, particularly useful against flying Scuttlers.
Release Window: Alien Deathstorm will launch on XBOX Series X|S and XBOX on PC in Spring 2027. The title will be available on Game Pass from day one and is currently available to wishlist.
