Most Alien fans at this point are looking forward to the long-awaited Alien Isolation 2. However, that isn't the only new Alien game in development. According to reports this week, there is a second mystery survival horror game in the works. 

Insider Gaming has learned that a new Alien game is in development. The title was revived recently after initially being planned back in 2020 and will offer a mix of combat, platforming and puzzles. The main character is said to be an engineer named Aubrey, who gets around the ship with a pair of magnetic boots and a grappling hook, essentially making this ‘Shadow of the Tomb Raider' but with Aliens.

The game is also apparently being made by Eidos Montreal, the studio behind Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided. Unfortunately, this likely means we won't be seeing Adam Jensen again anytime soon.

The new Alien game is said to be targeting a 2028 release window, with a budget of over $70 million. The studio will have to hope that the game doesn't end up clashing with Alien isolation 2, which began development in 2024, as that is a more established Alien sub-franchise with a large following.

KitGuru Says: With Alien Isolation 2 already on the way, I'm not sure what to think of this. It sounds like it will be similar in some ways, taking place on a large space station, with a character working their way through different parts of the ship, all the while dodging Xenomorphs.

At The Game Awards on Thursday night, RPG fans received a massive win with the announcement of Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic. The new game, spearheaded by KOTOR director, Casey Hudson, is a spiritual successor to Knights of the Old Republic. Due to the short cinematic reveal, fans anticipated a lengthy wait for the game, with a release after 2030. Hudson is much more optimistic on the development timeline though. 

In a post on social media following the reveal, Hudson tells fans to not worry about the ‘2030' rumours. He says that the game “will be out before then”, although there is no firm release window set for the game yet as it is still in early development.

Hudson has already expressed his excitement for the project, saying that “working on KOTOR was a defining experience” for his career, adding that getting to work on a new Old Republic game is a “dream come true”.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic first came out in 2003, giving players the opportunity to play as their own character, who discovers their connection to the force after meeting Jedi Bastilla Shan, who then serves as one of your companions for the rest of the game. The game was famous for deepening Star Wars lore, particularly where the Jedi and Sith are concerned.

Fate of the Old Republic should follow a similar trend. I'll keep my fingers crossed that we get to revisit Dantooine and Koriban.

KitGuru Says: I would love to be playing this sooner rather than later, but game development is often fraught with unexpected delays and issues. As long as the right kind of scope is maintained, it doesn't necessarily have to take 5+ years to make, but some of that will also depend on Disney and their own ‘requests'.

The FX360 TD offers the same strong cooling performance with a simpler digital display that shows real-time CPU temperatures.

Larian Studios, fresh off the global success of Baldur’s Gate 3, took the stage at The Game Awards 2025 to reveal two major projects now in development – Divinity and a second title codenamed Excalibur.

The first reveal was Divinity, a return to the studio’s original universe. Unlike Divinity: Original Sin, the new game drops the subtitle and is pitched as “the Divinity we’ve always wanted to make”. CEO Swen Vincke described it as a darker, more cinematic RPG that builds on the lessons learned from Original Sin and Baldur’s Gate 3.

Alongside Divinity, Larian teased a second project, internally codenamed Excalibur. This is set to be Larian's ‘biggest game to date' and as we can gather from the codename, it will be another fantasy adventure. Outside of that, Larian says it is still “figuring out what the hell it is”, so don't expect more news on this one for a good while.

With two flagship titles now in development, Larian will be very busy for the next few years. It is unclear if both of these games are being developed simultaneously, or if they will be made back-to-back. It is also unclear if Larian will continue to use Steam Early Access to aid in development. For Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2, as well as Baldur's Gate 3, Larian did engage with the Early Access programme, so there is a very good chance Divinity follows the same path.

KitGuru Says: Divinity: Original Sin 1 & 2 both earned high critical acclaim from RPG fans. With the popularity of Baldur's Gate 3 turning Larian into a household name amongst gamers, we can expect big things from Divinity, which is Larian's flagship original IP.

We're still no closer to seeing the Knights of the Old Republic remake, but a new game studio just announced the next best thing. Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is a brand-new game set in The Old Republic timeline and is said to be a spiritual successor to the KOTOR games.

Casey Hudson, who directed the original KOTOR at BioWare back in the day, is in charge of this new game, developed by his new studio, Arcanaut Studios. While Fate of the Old Republic will not be a direct sequel or continuation of the classic KOTOR games, it is being built by the people who shaped that legacy, acting as a spiritual successor to two of the best Star Wars games ever crafted.

Speaking on the new game, Casey Hudson said: “Fate of the Old Republic represents an opportunity to explore a contemporary vision of a definitive Star Wars experience, using state-of-the-art technology and game design, and an all-new story crafted specifically to deliver on the combination of player agency and immersion in Star Wars that was at the heart of KOTOR.”

Unfortunately, there is no release date for this game yet. Arcanaut Studios only just came into existence over the Summer of 2025, so while there will be ideas in place for the game, it will be a long road to release. The studio is currently hiring for a number of key positions as well, so this early reveal has likely happened in an effort to draw talent to the project.

KitGuru Says: KOTOR is responsible for my lifelong love of RPGs, so this game is one I'll be keeping a very close eye on. However, like with the KOTOR Remake, I expect we'll have a very long period of silence before the studio is ready to actually show anything substantial.

Last night during The Game Awards we didn't just get one Tomb Raider game announcement, instead we got two. Crystal Dynamics has revealed both Tomb Raider: Catalyst, a brand new mainline game in the series coming in 2027, and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, a comprehensive remake of the original 1996 game. 

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is targeting a 2026 release window. The game arrives in time for the series' 30th anniversary, celebrating the original Tomb Raider with a comprehensive remake built in Unreal Engine 5. Players will once again take on the role of Lara Croft as she searches for the Scion artifact in a globetrotting adventure spanning across Peru, Greece, Egypt and a mysterious Mediterranean island.

Tomb Raider: Catalyst is a brand-new mainline game in the Tomb Raider series. Targeting a 2027 launch window, in this game players will journey to Northern India to investigate a cataclysm and the mysterious appearance of ancient forces. You won't be the lone treasure hunter investigating here though, so you'll have to deal with more than a few rivals along the way.

Catalyst is set several years after the events of Tomb Raider: Underworld and is said to be a standalone chapter, so newcomers don't need to worry about playing the recent reboot trilogy, or all of the classic games from the PS1, PS2 or PS3 eras.

KitGuru Says: Are you looking forward to the new Tomb Raider games? Are you most looking forward to the remake, or the brand-new game?
