Did you realize Alien Hominid first appeared on flash portal Newgrounds in 2002? Do you additionally all of the sudden really feel a pointy ache, as if all of your bones had shattered into mud right away? Flash games may be lifeless and buried (for the most part), however one in every of its most enduring legacies is about to make a screaming, toothy comeback. Only an entire eighteen years after the head-munching rascal’s debut, The Behemoth are bringing him again in Alien Hominid: Invasion.
Now, in case you’ll excuse me, I would like a pleasant gap to fall into.
The Behemoth revealed a quick teaser in a Game 5 reveal blog post earlier this week. There’s not a lot to go on, however it appears just like the wee lad’s introduced a couple of extra buddies this time ’spherical.
Christ, that’s a flashback. Maybe a few of you whipper-snappers don’t recall The Behemoth, however in case you had been kicking about on Newgrounds or the Xbox Live Arcade within the noughties, you’ll know their work. Personally, I used to be all the time extra of a Castle Crashers child – however the Hominid? I used to be eight years outdated when he popped on the scene.
Behemoth are calling Invasion “a reimagination of the original Alien Hominid HD, and will feature completely new gameplay, progression, mechanics, and so much more”. It’ll ultimately launch on PC and consoles, although the devs aren’t fairly able to say when.
That’s actually all The Behemoth are prepared to say about Alien Hominid: Invasion for now. But there received’t be too lengthy to attend earlier than seeing extra of the little yellow bastard’s return – they’ll be exhibiting it off at PAX East (which I’m not going to) later this month, earlier than taking it throughout to EGX Rezzed (which I may be going to) in March. The Behemoth also needs to be posting improvement updates on their Twitter and Instagram channels. Keep your bulging alien eyes open for more information.
I’d be remiss to not notice that the remainder of the RPS gang may even be down in London’s Tobacco Docks for EGX Rezzed this March. We’re not gifting away any extra tickets – sorry – and we’ve nothing official introduced for now, however there’s often loads of website antics happening. Talks, panels, streams, and the like. Last 12 months, Nate and the lads made a proper ruckus in Leftfield for the RPS Olympics.
We’ll announce what we’re as much as nearer to the date, so keep tuned. It’ll be fun, trustworthy.
