Synopsis
Where the movie ended, the true terror begins.
You are Cpt J.F. Blake, leader of a U.S. Special Forces rescue team sent to investigate the blood-curdling events and enigmatic deaths of the American scientific team that transpired at the Outpost 31 research facility located in the frozen wastelands of Antarctica. Within these inhospitable surroundings your team encounters a strange shape-shifting alien life-form that assumes the appearance of people that it kills. Trapped by the elements and infected by this horrific entity, using all your team members is critical if you hope to accomplish your objectives, let alone survive. If you only knew which ones were still human…
The game serves as a sequel to the 1982 film, and will feature updated visuals and technical features not available in the original release, including Antialiasing, Per Pixel Lighting, 4K Resolution and up to 144 Frames Per Second!
Expect the game to be released later this year for PC/STEAM, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, and Nintendo Switch. Add it to your STEAM wishlist here!
