After signing Obsidian for the RPG, Sega has decided that Gearbox Software will develop the Alien FPS.
Simon Jeffery, President and COO, SEGA of America said, “Gearbox Software has a storied history of bringing innovative and compelling design to the FPS category. Combining their design talents with the intense action of the Alien franchise ensures that gamers will have an immersive and action-packed experience.”
Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software states, “The Alien series has been a tremendous influence for myself, the people at Gearbox Software and the video games industry in general. The opportunity to work with the amazing people at SEGA and Fox to build a next generation video game in the Alien universe is one of those dream projects that is a perfect fit for our capability and our passion.”
Gearbox Software has previously worked on top first person shooters like Brothers in Arms, Halo and Half-Life. We can surely look forward to one hell of a shooter.
