Fox announced that Alien Resurrection would be released in late 1997 on the Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and Microsoft Windows. Pleased with the prototype, Fox Interactive green lit the project and additionally assigned the team to create a game which would appear in the film. Lacking any initial directive from Fox Interactive beyond that it be a game for the Alien franchise, Argonaut designed a game engine with an overhead shooter format inspired by the recent game Loaded. In addition to traditional drone aliens, the player also faces marines and facehuggers (if the player is implanted with an alien, they must track down a device to remove it, or the creature will hatch and the game ends), later fighting boss creatures such as the alien queen and the newborn. These include killing clones and ejecting overheating escape pods. The player must complete different tasks to progress across the game. The selection includes a laser rifle, double barrel shotgun, grenade launcher, Shock rifle, flamer-thrower and a rocket launcher. Each character has their own special equipment.

Ripley is the main playable character for a majority of the game's levels, while Call, DiStephano, and Christie each get their own level as well.

The player uses four different characters from the movie. It consists of ten levels, the first nine taking place in the Xenomorph-infested USM Auriga, with the last aboard the mercenary ship Betty. The game is a first person shooter (FPS) with survival horror elements. When the Xenomorphs bred from the queen that was extracted from her cloned body escape containment and begin running rampant aboard the Auriga, Ripley must unite with a group of rag-tag mercenaries to escape the vessel. Ellen Ripley awaking aboard the USM Auriga and trying to escape from the xenomorph-infested research spaceship USM Auriga along with a crew of mercenaries. The game was developed by Argonaut Games and published by Fox Interactive for the PlayStation.įollowing the same basic plot of the movie, the game takes place years after the events of Alien 3 and follows a cloned Lt. It was originally intended to coincide with the film's release, but was mired in development hell for several years, finally being completed and released in 2000. Alien Resurrection is a 2000 first-person shooter video game based on the 1997 film of the same name.
