Blooper Team kender du som studiet bag The Medium og Layers of Fear, men på et tidspunkt sloges de med en langt større licens. De arbejdede nemlig på et Alien-spil, men dette foregik i... Middelalderen?
Ja, det lader til at være tilfældet, for information som GamePressure har samlet sammen peger på et projekt med kodenavnet "Black", som studiet droppede for mange år siden. Men her er selve pitchen:
"These segments, including encounters with the alien enemies, will serve to truly ratchet up the tension and provide the game with a much-needed sense of terror. Will you evade your enemies, distract them or face them head on?
Key features:
• unique setting, the unconventional blend of the Middle Ages and alien species
• mature story of the dark aspects of faith and humanity with the alien lifeform as catalyst for character development
• ambiguous moral choices (should we punish those who have wronged us, or stand with them against a greater evil? Should we save a child at the cost of our own life?)
• mix of stealth and intense, visceral combat (hand-to-hand/melee)
• historical setting makes the story more realistic and relatable, allows for potential spin-offs set in other historical periods (a la Assassin's Creed)."
Angiveligt skulle det have været planen at afsløre spillet helt uden at nævne Xenomorphs, men bare at vise en gammel kult. Åbenbart resulterede Disneys køb af 20th Century FOX at projektet blev lagt på hylden.
