New Game in the Aliens vs Predator Universe: XENOMORPH

For those who miss the legendary atmosphere of the Aliens vs Predator series, here is some exciting news: The newly established Athena Worlds studio has announced that they are working on a brand new survival and stealth game called XENOMORPH. The project is being developed under the leadership of Jane Whittaker, one of the creators of the original AvP game. The production, which will drag players to a mysterious planet, aims to push the boundaries of the genre again by combining atmospheric tension and strategic gameplay.

XENOMORPH Meets AvP Spirit with Modern Horror

XENOMORPH begins by forcing players to land on a dangerous planet called XL-243. The character, who survives the crash, soon realizes that he is not alone in this alien world. Jane Whittaker’s 40 years of experience in artificial intelligence and game mechanics form the basis of many systems, from enemy behavior to resource management. Surviving in the game requires not only physical preparation; but also mental preparation.

The original AvP, which inspired the game, was released on the Atari Jaguar platform in 1994 and continues to be on the scariest game lists. Whittaker describes this project as a “personal journey” and states that it is a sequel that fans have been waiting for for years. The slogan “Everyone hears their screams on XL-243” also shows that XENOMORPH blends the classic horror atmosphere with a modern narrative.

The development process includes experienced names who have taken part in projects such as Star Citizen and Forza Horizon. Mike Meaden is the production leader of the production, while Blizzard scholarship award-winning artist Blaire Wathen manages the character designs. This team aims to not only create a nostalgic feeling, but also meet today’s player expectations with high-level technical quality.

There is no clear release date for XENOMORPH, which is still in the development phase. However, Athena Worlds’ vision and the talented names on the team increase the expectations for the project every day. For those longing for survival horror, XENOMORPH has the potential to be a modern rebirth of a classic spirit. Players will find both the tension of the past and the innovation of the future in this production.
