Prodos Games; More Information on The Alien and Predator Game

Just found this information regarding the licence of Prodos Games to create an Alien and Predator wargame of the similar movies. The news was found on this forum and has been copied for your convenience.

• The game will be story driven. It is set between Alien and Aliens and takes inspiration primarily from the Alien and Predator films as opposed to the crossovers.
• The initial release will be with a boxset ala Space Hulk. The initial boxset release will be before the end of 2013 with an initial expansion wave of up to a dozen new models planned for early 2014.
• Prodos will be drawing in elements from the expanded universe so there will be plenty of different Alien/Predator/Colonial Marines/Civilian variants. Look out of an Alien from the old AvP Arcade Game!
• The gameplay will be based off the Prodos Games engine used in their other game, Warzone Resurrection.
• The game will support solo and multiplayer games. The initial boxset will come with a board for more contained focused play but there is also potential for further open combat.
• There will be unique “hero” units.
• The license does not include Prometheus.
• Prodos will be showing off the game at various game conventions as well as a potential inaugural event to celebrate the release.

Prodos will also be releasing more information (including the price) via their Facebook page over the next 5 or 6 days so keep an eye out. Be sure to Like them and post any questions you have up there. Prodos will also be hosting a special event to launch Warzone Resurrection. Those interested in the upcoming AvP game may find this interesting to get a chance to meet the guys over at Prodos, get a feel for their products and the gameplay system AvP will be using.
