![]() Tread carefully, as your foes will adapt their tactics to your actions while hunting you down because death is permanent. Infiltrate large open levels and annihilate enemies with your squad, dispatching orders strategically and intuitively at the touch of a button. Lead your soldiers in real-time combat against iconic Xenomorphs, rogue operatives from the insatiable Weyland-Yutani Corporation, and a host of horrifying creatures new to the Alien franchise. We probably won’t know more about these non-Xenomorph enemies until later, so here’s hoping we are at least on the right path.In Aliens: Dark Descent, command a squad of hardened Colonial Marines to stop a terrifying Xenomorph outbreak on Moon Lethe. Besides, it wouldn’t be the first time that a human has been wrong about something in an Alien adaptation. While the game’s space marines seem to indicate that those creatures aren’t humans, they could also be referring to the Xenomorph that jumps in front of them shortly after that explanation is delivered via voiceover. If true, then the “monsters” from the video could be the rogue commandos just as easily as they could be the game’s unique threat. Perhaps those blue vials on their backs contain a chemical that interacts with pheromones, and the glowing blue lights are a dispersal unit that sprays the stuff around like a can of Lysol. Well, this is just pure speculation here, but those new creatures could be humans modified to release zero pheromones or at least ones that carry around something that nullifies the ones they produce. Remember how we said Xenomorphs hunt via pheromones? It’s why they attack anything that breathes. It would be a little odd for combat androids to be described as “brand-new threats,” but it’s possible there is something new about these androids that also explains their looks. Granted, they look different than some of the combat androids we’ve seen in previous games, but not so different that we can rule out that possibility entirely. Predator games, so it’s not unreasonable to assume that is what these things are. We’ve even seen combat androids in many previous Alien and Alien vs. The trailer’s monsters could simply be yet another synthetic Weyland-Yutani creation. The company also produces several lines of decidedly not-quite-human robots. Well, that’s because those androids were just one brand of Weyland-Yutani androids. Audiences who have primarily stuck to the Alien movies might be confused about how the trailer’s creatures could be robots since all the androids in the films have looked indistinguishable from humans. This explains why they aren’t in any danger in the trailer, but not their appearances. That means it’s time to do a little theorizing. The site promises plenty of classic Xenomorph threats, including Facehuggers, Alien Queens, and Praetorians, but also non-alien enemies such as “rogue human commandos” and “a brand-new threat.” That means that the trailer’s unidentified creatures are either the commandos or the “new threat,” which sadly doesn’t explain as much as we’d like. The game’s official website sheds some light on the monsters’ identities, but not much. That’s highly unusual and raises the question of just what the heck those new creatures actually are. Most important of all, the Xenomorphs in the trailer completely ignore them. These hostiles also sport blue vials plugged into their spines and blue, glowing light in their chests (sort of like an evil version of Iron Man’s arc reactor). ![]() These unidentified creatures appear to be bald, pale humans (or, at the very least, humanoids) augmented with mechanical parts and tubes. However, right before the aliens make their grand entrance, the trailer teases what appears to be a new threat. ![]() In the game’s reveal video, audiences get to see Xenomorphs wreaking havoc on an ill-prepared squad of soldiers. While the announcement trailer provided a taste of what’s to come, it also raised quite a few currently unanswered questions. Summer Game Fest 2022 started off strong with quite a few world premieres that included an announcement for the upcoming sci-fi action game Aliens: Dark Descent.
