Yesterday, we informed you about a cancelled Aliens game that was to be developed by Boss Key Productions. However, it appears that 3D Realms had also pitched an Aliens game. Similarly to Boss Key Productions’ game, though, this game was cancelled when Disney purchased FOX.
As 3D Realms’ VP Frederik Schreiber noted, their Aliens game was called Aliens: Hadleys Hope. Aliens: Hadleys Hope was a first-person story-driven PvE multiplayer adventure shooter. The game would be developed by Slipgate Ironworks and 3D Realms, and there was a long-range plan to add new content for years.
Players would be able to choose between marines and colonists. Thus, players would be working together in order to eliminate all xenomorphs and kill the Queen.
The game would require teamwork and tactics in order to make progress through each level. After completing a number of levels, players would face an Alien queen. However, the game would feature multiple – and not only one – Alien queens.
Levels would have mission-critical goals, as well as side quests. One of them would be, for example, hunting down eggs. These side quests would provide additional loot and story bits. They would also feature various easter eggs from the Alien universe.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
