Where the movie ended, the true terror begins—remastered for Nintendo Switch.
The landmark 2002 third-person survival horror shooter returns, remastered by Nightdive Studios. Set after the genre-defining 1982 film, you step into the boots of Cpt. J.F. Blake, leading a U.S. Special Forces rescue team to investigate the grim fate of the Outpost 31 crew in the frozen wastelands of Antarctica.
Face a relentless, shape-shifting alien that can mimic anyone it kills while you balance fast-paced squad action with nerve-shredding survival horror. Battle through 20 frightening levels against scuttling head-spiders, human-like walkers, and towering multi-tentacled monstrosities. An advanced trust/fear system challenges you to manage your team’s psychological state—earn their confidence or risk deadly consequences.
