News: But we could have told you that.
Sega confirmed today that Obsidian Entertainment will be developing their Alien RPG for "next-generation consoles" and the PC. Sega inadvertantly revealed Obsidian's involvement yesterday on the game's teaser website.
"With Obsidian Entertainment's development pedigree, they were our first choice to bring the Alien franchise to the RPG universe," said Simon Jeffery, President and COO, SEGA of America, Inc. "They are the only developer for us that could effectively combine the Alien mythology with compelling RPG gameplay to create the ultimate Alien experience."
"We are thrilled to be working with the great production and publishing teams at SEGA to deliver the ultimate in-depth Alien experience to gamers worldwide," said Feargus Urquhart, CEO of Obsidian Entertainment. "Building an epic RPG with a license as heralded as the Alien franchise is truly a great honor."
While Sega hasn't announced which next-generation consoles the game will appear on, a previous announcement concerning Obsidian's involvement with Sega mentioned a project that would appear on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
