Survios released the much-anticipated horror-shooter, Alien: Rogue Incursion, last week, and it took many by surprise with its “Part One” label. Initially, this sparked confusion among fans wondering if the game was being split into episodes and whether they were getting a full experience. Let’s clear the air—purchasing the game means you’re not just getting a teaser without substance. Instead, it’s a promise from the developers that there’s more excitement in the works.
Alien: Rogue Incursion made its debut on PC VR and PSVR 2, and eyebrows were raised over this new “Part One” designation. Gamers questioned whether they were receiving a complete experience or something released piecemeal. After diving into the game, I can confidently say the eight-hour immersive journey stands alone just fine. It scored a respectable [7/10] due to its atmospheric settings and intense encounters with relentless Xenomorphs. However, repetitive enemies and a challenging save system did put a dent in the experience.
In response to the confusion, Survios took to social media to clarify the intentions behind the “Part One” label. They didn’t intend to imply a fragmented release strategy. While the adventure does leave players hanging with a cliffhanger, it’s merely the first chapter of a two-part narrative.
Good news for eager fans: Part Two is already in progress, promising even tougher foes and higher stakes, which has us all intrigued.
As we look forward to Part Two, there’s also keen interest in how the upcoming Quest version will perform once it lands on Quest 3/3S on February 13th, 2025. The game boasts levels that load dynamically, rich textures, and an abundance of physics-based interactions. These features likely contributed to the delayed Quest release, as the developers aim for optimal performance.
Here’s the official statement addressing the community’s concerns:
