Alien: Rogue Incursion – Part One: Evolved Edition is now officially a Nintendo Switch 2 game, the developer Survios revealed today. The Switch 2 version of the game will incorporate the handheld’s mouse controls, switching automatically to precision mouse aiming when the Joy-Con is placed on a surface. It’s available on the Nintendo eShop now.
Alien: Rogue Incursion – Part One: Evolved Edition originally launched as a VR game in December 2024, followed by a non-VR release on PC and PlayStation 5 on September 30, 2025. In the game, you take the role of ex-Colonial Marine Zula Hendricks as she explores the uncharted planet Purdan and meets the local xenomorphs.
At IGN Live last year, Chief Product Officer TQ Jefferson talked about how Alien: Isolation influenced the development of Alien: Rogue Incursion – Part One. “I could say from a sort of a narrative, visual aesthetic sort of way, it was greatly influential on Rogue Incursion. You know, often Isolation is referred to as the love letter to Alien, the first film, and we set out to make a love letter to Aliens, the second film, primarily the third act where Ripley goes down into the hive and starts, you know, giving it to the xenomorphs,” he explained. So, Isolation is the benchmark. It’s a wonderful game, and I think anyone that makes an Alien game, irrespective of play style or platform, is going to be thinking about that game somewhere in their conversations and in their discussions.”
The alien action horror is already available on Xbox Series X and S, PS5 and PC, with the promise of a PlayStation 4 version on the horizon too.
