When news of the new Aliens game broke, many fans were upset that it was a mobile game instead of a serious follow up to Alien: Isolation. However, the consensus of early access reviewers is that the game is actually fun, so it is worth it to take a look at the Alien: Blackout Trailer.
It’s easy to see where gamers are coming from—Alien: Isolation was released over 4 years ago and was very highly rated. We’re overdue for a sequel. Plus, many hardcore PC gamers are upset that companies keep moving to simple mobile games for the easy money made from in-app purchases (i.e. Blizzard with Diablo: Immortal). While Alien: Blackout is unlikely to rise to the level expected of an Alien: Isolation successor, it will hopefully at least be a fun mobile game set in the Alien universe.
Alien: Blackout will be released to the Apple App Store, Google Play, and the Amazon Appstore on January 24, 2019. It will be priced at $4.99.

The terror of Alien is brought to life in Alien: Blackout. Try to stay alive while trapped aboard a crippled Weyland-Yutani space station carrying a deadly Xenomorph as it tirelessly hunts you and the crew. Outsmart the perfect hunter by making perilous choices. Players must rely on the damaged controls of the space station or risk sacrificing crew members to avoid deadly contact, permanently altering the outcome of the game.
Survive seven fear-inducing levels by remotely guiding Amanda Ripley’s crew through increasingly challenging tasks using only the station’s emergency systems. The uncertainty and unpredictability of both the alien and her crew can impose total defeat for Amanda and the entire station.
