After 2014’s Alien: Isolation not receiving a VR-adaptation, the upcoming movie will indeed get one.

The Verge reports that Alien: Covenant, which looks to be a significant return to the franchise’s basics, is going to get a virtual reality experience.

The project is directed by David Karlak, and it is going to be a collaboration between Ridley Scott’s RSA Films, MPC VR, and Twentieth Century Fox’s in-house VR-wing, Fox Innovation Lab. The „dread-inducing journey into the depths of the Alien universe” will launch in 2017, although no target platforms were mentioned in the announcement.

It was about time for the Xenomorphs to get a serious entry into VR. Alien: Isolation, which is a fairly decent game, only got to a demo in this „genre”, even though the next logical step for it could have been a port to the PlayStation VR, HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift… it was a first-person exploration after all
