Official: Aliens RPG cancelled

While it has never been officially confirmed it was pretty obvious to anyone following the Aliens themed RPG’s development that the game project was in serious trouble - if not completely stalled. According to a report on Big Download, it has been confirmed that Aliens RPG has been cancelled. The game was being developed by Obsidian Entertainment for publisher Sega.

In a forum post over at Obsidian Entertainment’s official website, a moderator posted the following statement:

“Unfortunately, it is true that we are no longer working on the game, and we wanted to finally announce that officially to everyone who has been following its development.”

Sega also confirmed it with GameSpot, saying “At this point, Sega has no plans to move forward with the Aliens RPG.”

Obsidian still has plenty of interesting projects in the works including the espionage themed action-RPG Alpha Protocol and the Fallout: New Vegas game. A third unannounced title is reportedly in development as well.
