Earlier this week SEGA announced it had acquired a license to create games based on the Alien film franchise, and today has announced that Obsidian Entertainment will be helming an Alien RPG for next-gen systems and PC.
Obsidian is the renowned developer of successful RPGs including Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: Sith Lords and the award-winning Neverwinter Nights 2. For the new Alien RPG Obsidian will build upon the distinctive look and feel of the original films.
“We are thrilled to be working with the great production and publishing teams at SEGA to deliver the ultimate in-depth Alien experience to gamers worldwide,” said Feargus Urquhart, CEO of Obsidian Entertainment. “Building an epic RPG with a license as heralded as the Alien franchise is truly a great honour.”
SEGA hasn’t released any specific game details, but as part of the original Alien license announcement the company did say that the first Alien titles would be released in 2009.
