Rogue Incursion, the Alien-themed shooter, to break free from virtual reality confines and transition into a typical bug-hunting gaming experience later in 2022.
Hey there, gamers!
You've probably missed out on the VR exclusive, Alien: Rogue Incursion in 2024, but fret not! Coming our way on September 30, 2025 is the Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition, set to bring the terrifying xenomorph action to your ordinary PC screens.
Starring as Zula Hendricks, a former colonial marine, players will embark on a mission to unveil the sickening "black-site experiments" run by the Weyland-Yutani corporation. Accompanied by Davis 01, a synthetic companion, gamers must thrust themselves into the heart of the Gemini Exoplanet Solutions research facility and annihilate (or sneak past) yet another studio-crafted xenomorph outbreak.
Currently, we've got the lowdown on the Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition from the Steam listing that hints at the first part of a two-part tale unfolding on the mysterious planet Purdan within the GES facility on LV-354 [1][2]. Developer Survio says this initial offering "stands alone as a complete story" but will still leave players on a spine-tingling cliffhanger [2]. Let's hope they don't mean the game's performance will do the same.
The original VR version has received mixed reviews on Steam, with 68% of the reviews being positive. Nevertheless, it handles itself fairly well on the Meta Store with a 4/5 rating based on 475 reviews [1][3].
Predominantly, complaints on Steam are about questionable performance issues, but with the new non-VR version, these problems might just evaporate. But will they, though? At this point, we have no idea about the system requirements or how Survio has "re-envisioned" the game, so we'll just have to wait and see.
If you've got the VR version already, you might snag the Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition for free. But it hasn't been verified yet. In true gamer fashion, I've reached out to Survio, and if they respond, trust me, I'll spill the tea.
So if you're ready for a nail-biting experience, mark your calendars, folks! The Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition is set to leave VR behind and brings thrilling, interstellar horror to you this September!
