We have long-known of Gearbox Software’s Aliens: Colonial Marines and the ill-fated Aliens RPG from Obsidian. Now, CVG reports that SEGA has hired their long-time strategy stallion, The Creative Assembly, to create a new title based on the horror IP which Creative Director Mike Simpson says will be a “peer to Dead Space”. The Creative Assembly, known for their Total War series, is ramping up production on the title by adding on roughly forty additional employees.
No word yet on a release date, but we expect more Aliens-related news when we visit SEGA’s booth at E3 in a few weeks. Perhaps we can get a look at Colonial Marines?!?
