Sega has announced an exclusive agreement to bring the Alien film franchise to next-gen gaming systems.
“As a direct result of Fox’s efforts over the past 27 years, Alien has become one of the most recognized franchises in the motion picture industry,” commented Simon Jeffery, President and CEO of Sega. “Sega will utilize the power of next-gen systems to blend the time-honored story with leading edge design technology to deliver a riveting and suspenseful gameplay experience.”
“Alien is one of those special franchises that has continued to thrive in licensing long after it has left theaters. The L & M program has been very successful over the years because we have partnered with the best companies for the extremely loyal Alien fans,” added Elie Dekel, Executive Vice President of Fox Licensing and Merchandising. “We look forward to partnering with Sega, a known leader in the gaming industry, to expand the program to the next generation gaming systems and bring the franchise to life with the newest technology and gameplay.”
Multiple titles including a first-person shooter and a role playing game are currently in pre-production. The first game is set to release in 2009.
