3D Realms VP Frederik Schreiber shared the details for a cancelled Aliens game, which was in pre-production before Disney acquired 21st Century Fox last March.

In a Twitter reply, Schreiber stated his team was developing Aliens: Hadley’s Hope; a multiplayer-based PvE shooter based on the sci-fi film series.

The franchise would also make its way into a four-player cooperative first person shooter setting. Unlike SEGA’s Colonial Marines, the tweet implied almost all of Hadley’s Hope would focus on xenomorphs.

Yup. Game was called Aliens: Hadleys Hope. We went quite far into pre-production before the Disney/Fox acquisition, and then we had to cancel it, and move on with something else.

Its story was mixed with a search-and-destroy gameplay, pairing survivors and colonial marines together for a bug-hunt.

On its info sheet, Slipgate Ironworks and 3D Realms hoped players would discover the plot through subtle “nuggets” for immersion and world-building.

Players would also have to survive across different settings within the infested Hadley’s Hope and loot for supplies. Easter eggs chock-full of movie references could be found hidden across various maps.

Eventually, each team would face different alien Queens deep in her lair while side-challenges can be completed with large open-ended levels.

Schreiber later wrote Aliens: Hadley’s Hope was scrapped once the property was transferred to Disney.

His concerns were also shared as a coincidence with other developers working on games based on the Alien IP.

While a user suggested 3D Realms revive the game for development, Schreiber stated his team was “having too much fun” with later titles such as Kingpin, Ion Fury and WRATH.

Nah, we’re having too much fun with Kingpin, Ion Fury, WRATH and Ghostrunner!
