When Survios dropped their much-anticipated horror-shooter, Alien: Rogue Incursion (2024), last week, we were caught off guard by the unexpected ‘Part One’ tag. It left many wondering: does this mean we’re only getting a piece of the game off the bat, or is more content on the horizon?
Last week’s launch on PC VR and PSVR 2 sparked questions about the ‘Part One’ designation. People were curious if they would receive a complete game or if it would come in episodic bits. In our detailed review, we found the game to be a full-fledged eight-hour experience, which we rated a respectable 7 out of 10. Its immersive settings and adrenaline-pumping skirmishes with Xenomorph packs are a delight, albeit somewhat marred by repetitive enemy encounters and a challenging save system.
In response to the confusion, Survios took to social media with a clarifying post. They assured fans that the ‘Part One’ label wasn’t a ploy to portion out the game in pieces. Instead, while the narrative wraps up on a cliffhanger, it sets the stage for a dual-part storyline. Even better, Part Two is already in the works, promising fiercer foes and more grueling challenges—exactly what eager fans want to hear.
As we eagerly await, there’s curiosity regarding how the Quest version will perform once it hits Quest 3/3S on February 13th, 2025. In our review, we highlighted features like dynamically loading levels, intricate textures, and numerous physics-based interactions. These elements likely contributed to the delayed release for Quest devices.
Here’s Survios’s full message to their community:

To our valued community,
Recently, we received significant feedback about including “Part One” in Alien: Rogue Incursion’s initial stages, its achievement/trophy list, and on store displays. It was never our intention to mislead or confuse you about the game’s nature, and we acknowledge how the ‘Part One’ label might have been interpreted that way.
This standalone adventure concludes with a cliffhanger, yet we wished to assure fans of more exciting content ahead, hence confirming Part Two’s existence at launch. As huge fans of the Alien universe, the Survios team is thrilled to dive deeper into the stories of characters like Zula and Davis.
While we don’t have further details about Part Two just yet, rest assured, more thrilling updates are on the way. We’re grateful for your passion and enthusiasm for Alien: Rogue Incursion, and we hope you find exploring Purdan and Castor’s Cradle as rewarding as we did crafting them.
