Aliens galore.

For a while now there has been the on off rumour that the Aliens RPG that Obsidian were working on was cancelled then back in production then cancelled again and so on. The game that was going to be released by Sega seemed to get the final word straight from the horse's mouth this week when a spokesperson for Obsidian released this statement on their site.

“Hi guys, The Guildmaster here. Rumors have circled around a bit regarding the fate of the Aliens role playing game that Obsidian and SEGA had been working on. Unfortunately, it is true that we are no longer working on the game, and we wanted to finally announce that officially to everyone who has been following its development. We’re going to keep this forum up for another week for archival purposes and to allow you guys to finish up any open threads, and then we will shut it down since it is no longer a product that is in development”.

“All of us here at Obsidian would like to thank you for your interest and support during its development, and we encourage you to check out the recent news about Alpha Protocol, which is coming to the PC, Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 very soon”

The latest news on the other Aliens games is that they are still due for release with Aliens: Colonial Marines announced for the DS as well as the other platforms. Colonial Marines will not be released however until after the forthcoming Aliens vs. Predator game hits the shelves and is only thought to come out sometime in early 2010.
