In space no one can hear your business acquisitions
The news that Daybreak are the buyers is a little surprising, seeing asthey’ve gone through multiple rounds of layoffsin recent years, and in 2019 theyshut down PlanetSide Arenaafter just four months.
But Daybreak have their sights set on this game now, saying they’ll provide support and marketing as the publisher while Cold Iron operate independently. We still don’t know a whole lot about what they’re making. Daybreak’s announcement yesterday says it “promises to deliver an action-packed, sci-fi shooter experience unlike any other game on the market.” Not too ambitious, then. It’s not too far-fetched to think that the game might be a bit MMO-y, given games both Daybreak and Cold Iron have worked on. It’s also worth noting that Cold Iron have referred to it a few times as an"Aliens"shooter as opposed to “Alien”, so make of that what you will.
We did briefly thinkCold Iron’s game might be ‘Alien: Blackout’, but that turned out to bea mobile horror game.
All I truly want from a new Alien game is for it tonot be another Aliens: Colonial Marines. Actually, I hope they’re not taking too much inspiration from the recent films either. I watched Alien: Covenant for the first time the other night and it’s just a lot of Michael Fassbender being creepy at Michael Fassbender for two hours.
I’d be remiss if I wrote about Alien without at least mentioning the best take on the film series, Creative Assembly’sAlien: Isolation. We reckon it’s one ofthe best horror games on PC, and spoke to some of the devs to find outhow they managed to make it so darn scary. Isolation is gonna be a tough act to follow.
For now, we’ll just have to wait and see what Cold Iron have planned.
