Alien: Rogue Incursion is a single-player action-horror game developed by Survios using Unreal Engine 5. The original release was built for virtual reality and launched for PlayStation VR2 and Windows/SteamVR on December 19, 2024, followed by a Meta Quest 3 release on February 13, 2025.
The story follows Zula Hendricks, an ex-Colonial Marine, as she answers a distress call on the remote mining world Purdan. Alongside her AI companion Davis-01, she enters the infested Gemini Exoplanet Solutions facility and fights to stop a Xenomorph outbreak before it spreads beyond the planet.
This first chapter, often identified as Part One, places players in a hostile black-site environment packed with laboratories, hive growth, and industrial corridors. The game mixes direct combat, environmental tension, and exploration while pushing deeper into the facility's secrets.
Rogue Incursion was designed to feel closer to the action-driven intensity of Aliens, but still leans heavily on horror, unpredictability, and close-quarters encounters. The Xenomorphs are fast, aggressive, and unpredictable, forcing players to react under constant pressure.
The VR release is built around immersive first-person interaction, with players using weapons, tools, and scanning equipment while navigating dark interiors and hive-infested spaces. Combat emphasizes survival, awareness, and quick reaction time rather than large-scale firefights.
Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition is the non-VR version of the game, released in 2025. Unlike the original VR release, this edition is built for first-person play on standard displays, adapting the experience for players who want the same story and atmosphere without a headset.
The Evolved Edition launched for Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. It keeps the core premise, locations, and storyline of Part One, but adjusts the presentation with redesigned controls, different camera handling, and pacing changes suited to non-VR gameplay.
For players who prefer traditional first-person controls, Evolved Edition offers a more conventional action-horror setup while still focusing on claustrophobic exploration, motion-tracker tension, and close-range encounters with multiple Xenomorphs inside the Purdan facility.
