Sega will hatch 'Alien' games
Sega has inked a deal with 20th Century Fox Licensing and Merchandising for a series of games based on the Alien movies.
The publisher, best known for its Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise, is developing multiple next-generation and PC video games set in the Alien universe, including a first-person shooter and a role-playing game, with the first product to ship in 2008.
Rob Lightner, vp business development, said Sega is in talks with actors from the films, including Sigourney Weaver and Lance Henriksen, to reprise their movie roles by providing their likenesses and voice roles for the games.
"We haven't finalized anything at this point, but everything is on the table," Lightner said. "It's important for everyone to understand the difference here: We're taking licensing to the next level with this franchise."
Mike Gallo, senior producer of the Alien games at Sega, said the new games will not follow the strict story lines of any of the four films in the series but instead will provide a new experience by drawing from the history and lore that is the foundation of the films.
