Alien Deathstorm: The New Shooter from the Sniper Elite Developers

During the latest Xbox Partner Preview showcase, Rebellion—the renowned studio behind the Sniper Elite series and Atomfall—unveiled their latest ambitious project. Alien Deathstorm is a moody, atmospheric first-person shooter set on a hostile celestial body ravaged by perpetual, violent storms. The initial gameplay footage promises a visceral experience, pitting players against relentless swarms of grotesque extraterrestrial horrors in a high-stakes struggle for dominance.

This debut look introduces us to a desolate colony, a settlement utterly decimated by volatile weather patterns and predatory alien life. While the narrative begins as a scouting mission to uncover the catalyst of the outpost’s destruction, the objective swiftly shifts from investigation to a desperate, pulse-pounding fight for survival. The title perfectly encapsulates the chaos, blending environmental hazards with an unrelenting barrage of combat.

Alien Deathstorm is slated for a 2027 release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. In a move that will surely please enthusiasts, Rebellion confirmed that the game will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one and will fully support Xbox Play Anywhere functionality.
