Aliens: Dark Descent announcement trailer

Aliens: Dark Descent is a single-player squad-based shooter from Tindalos Interactive and Focus Entertainment, and will launch on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and PC in 2023. You'll lead a squad of Marines to Moon Lethe on a recon mission, but as is mandatory for the Alien universe, everything goes to pot and you're left fighting for survival against the savage Xenomorphs.

"Recruit, gear up and customize your squad of Marines with an extensive arsenal of weapons, armour, and special abilities while exploring, as enemies will adapt their tactics to your actions to hunt you down. When ready, embark on high stakes missions in treacherous territory, all the while gathering resources to fix up the stranded Otago spacecraft and researching tech upgrades for your crew.

"Players will command a squad as one unit thanks to intuitive controls, allowing their Marines to automatically prioritize and execute complex actions in real-time, based on their respective skill sets and the environment around them. Navigate levels strategically, making sure to leverage the persistent and reactive environments to your advantage by sealing off checkpoints, unlocking shortcuts, or creating safe zones."
