Rogue Incursion’s’ Unexpected Shift to ‘Part 1’

When Survios dropped their much-anticipated horror-shooter, Alien: Rogue Incursion (2024), last week, it came with a surprise—a ‘Part One’ label that piqued the curiosity of players. Fortunately, this doesn’t mean you’re purchasing just a portion of the game; rather, it’s a signal that there’s more action-packed content on the horizon.

Upon its release on PC VR and PSVR 2, players found themselves scratching their heads over the mysterious ‘Part One’ designation. Was the game being served piecemeal, or was it a complete saga? Our deep dive into the game revealed it as a full, eight-hour adventure. Boasting immersive settings and tense face-offs with agile Xenomorphs, we rated the experience a steady 7/10. However, it wasn’t without its drawbacks, as the repetition of enemies and its challenging save system did take a bit of wind out of its sails.

In response to the confusion, Survios clarified on X that the ‘Part One’ tag wasn’t meant to mislead players about receiving only fragments of the game. Although the standalone narrative does wrap up with a tantalizing cliffhanger, it’s merely the first half of a two-part tale.

Eagerly, Survios has also confirmed that Part Two is currently in the pipeline. Promising even fiercer foes and more arduous trials, it certainly sounds like a thrilling sequel is in store.

On another note, the community is eagerly anticipating how the game will perform when it lands on Quest 3/3S, scheduled for release on February 13th, 2025. Our initial review noted the game’s dynamic level loading, intricate textures, and robust physics-based interactions, all of which likely contributed to the postponed Quest release.

Here’s the official statement from Survios:

“To our valued community,

We’ve heard your feedback about the ‘Part One’ label in the opening scenes, achievement list, and store pages of Alien: Rogue Incursion. Causing confusion was never our goal, and now we see how it might have been misconstrued.

Part One is a self-contained story that finishes on a cliffhanger. We used this label to convey there’s more to come, confirming Part Two at launch to build anticipation. As fans of the Alien universe ourselves, the entire Survios team is eager to delve deeper into the storylines of Zula, Davis, and others.

Although we have no new announcements regarding Part Two’s specifics beyond its current development, we are committed to keeping you updated as things progress.

Your enthusiasm and dedication towards Alien: Rogue Incursion is appreciated, and we hope you relish exploring Purdan and Castor’s Cradle as much as we loved crafting it.”

This exciting revelation promises more adrenaline-fueled adventures on the horizon, ensuring that fans have plenty to look forward to in this gripping saga.
