Nearly a year ago at San-Diego Comic-Con it was announced that developer Survios was working on a new Alien virtual reality game inspired by Cold Iron Studios' Alien: Isolation. But since then, news on the project has been relatively nonexistent leading some to wonder if the project was canceled. Thankfully that's not the case. This week at GDC 2024, it was confirmed the game is still in active development, as reported by RoadToVR (via AvPGalaxy):
