Both the Alien and Predator franchises have thrived in Fall 2025. Alien launched its first TV series, a prequel called Alien: Earth, and the new Predator film, Predator: Badlands, has been a hit with both critics and audiences.
Okay, so as a gamer and sci-fi fan, it’s awesome to see Badlands really killin’ it – it’s made over $80 million worldwide, which makes it the highest-grossing Predator movie ever! And Alien: Earth? That series blew up on Disney+ and Hulu! The first two episodes alone got over nine million views in just six days, which is insane. Definitely worth checking out if you haven’t!
After the first season of Alien: Earth ended with a suspenseful cliffhanger in late September, fans worried the show might not return. However, FX and Disney Entertainment Television announced on Tuesday that Alien: Earth has been renewed for a second season, with filming scheduled to begin in London in 2026.
If you’re a fan of the show Alien: Earth and are eagerly awaiting season two, here are 10 games you might enjoy. They share similar themes, characters, and environments with the series.
Spoilers for Alien: Earth Season 1 ahead
10. Among Us
Crews Struggling With Lethal Aliens
Many fans consider “In Space, No One…” to be the strongest episode of Alien: Earth. It shows how the crew of the Maginot was killed by both the alien Xenomorph and other dangerous creatures it was carrying, within a setting remarkably similar to the original Alien movie from 1979.
If you liked this episode, you might also enjoy playing Among Us. While it takes more inspiration from the movie The Thing – where an alien hides among a group – it shares similarities with Alien and Alien: Earth. All three stories center around teams trying to survive as an alien creature eliminates them one by one.
The way the Impostor mimics a Crewmate is reminiscent of a scene in “In Space, No One…”, where engineer Shmuel is taken over by a creature and briefly attacks Zoya Zaveri. Initially, Zoya believes Shmuel is simply behaving strangely on the bridge of the Maginot.
Although Among Us has a more cartoonish style than Alien, it still delivers the same kind of exciting and surprising moments that fans love in Alien: Earth and the Alien movies in general. It’s a great game to play with friends!
9. System Shock
One of the Most Influential Sci-Fi Games Ever Made
Androids, also called Synthetics, are important characters throughout the Alien series. They feature heavily in Alien: Earth, where Kirsh and Atom Eins play mysterious Synthetic roles. This installment also introduces Cyborgs, portrayed by Kumi Morrow, and Hybrids, represented by the Lost Boys.
Video games often feature artificial beings, but one of the most notable and impactful examples is the 1994 game System Shock and its 2023 reimagining, which prominently features both artificial intelligences and cyborgs.
In this game, you play as a hacker in the year 2072. You’re strong-armed by a corporation called TriOptimum to stop a dangerous AI named SHODAN. She’s using Citadel Station as a base to threaten Earth, and you’ll have to battle robots, cyborgs, and mutants along the way to save humanity.
The original 1994 System Shock has aged visually and in terms of gameplay, but its story remains one of the most compelling ever in video games. This remake updates the graphics and controls, making it more accessible for today’s gamers and science fiction enthusiasts to enjoy the intense conflict between a hacker and the rogue AI, SHODAN.
8. Scorn
H. R. Giger’s Dreamscape
The Xenomorph is a famously terrifying and fascinating monster, brilliantly conceived by artist H.R. Giger as a fusion of organic and mechanical elements. This unique design heavily influenced the look and feel of the horror game Scorn, created by Ebb Software.
If you were fascinated by the disturbing, organic-machine look of the creatures, ships, and environments in the original Alien film, then Scorn is exactly what you’ve been waiting for. It creates a similarly unsettling and biomechanical alien world.
The game Scorn is heavily inspired by the art of H.R. Giger, visible in everything from its environments to its tools and weapons. Players will face unsettling challenges, often requiring them to interact with strange, biomechanical devices to open doors, power up machines, and solve puzzles.
While Alien: Earth doesn’t showcase a lot of the iconic, unsettling art style of H.R. Giger beyond the Xenomorph itself, fans of Alien will likely be captivated by Scorn. It offers a fascinating vision of what the Xenomorph’s home planet or the Space Jockey’s origins might have looked like.
7. Prey
Hidden Aliens at Every Corner
While drawing heavily from the atmosphere of the original Alien film from 1979, Alien: Earth also shares some elements with Aliens, particularly regarding characters like Joe Hermit and the security team at the Prodigy Corporation. The 2017 game Prey was also significantly influenced by both of these films.
The 2017 film Prey is distinct from earlier movies with the same name. It takes place in 2035 on the Talos I space station, where TranStar Industries has been experimenting with a dangerous alien species called Typhons. These creatures can consume living tissue and cleverly disguise themselves as ordinary objects.
In Prey, you play as Morgan Yu, one of the few remaining humans after a dangerous outbreak on the space station Talos I. You’ll need to fight to survive, learn the secrets of the outbreak, and piece together who you once were.
Similar to companies like Weyland-Yutani and Prodigy, TranStar isn’t interested in doing good. Their attempts to “improve” humanity through experiments on the Typhon have put everyone on Talos I in danger, much like how bringing alien eggs and creatures onto the Maginot ship endangered its crew.
6. Aliens: Fireteam Elite
A Fantastic Bug Hunt
Ever since the first Alien movie came out in 1979, many game developers have created games based on that film and its follow-ups. Aliens: Fireteam Elite stands out because it successfully incorporates elements from almost every Alien movie, as well as content from the books and comics.
Taking place between the films Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection, Fireteam Elite puts you in the role of a squad of Colonial Marines or synthetic soldiers from the USS Endeavor. They’re sent to investigate a distress signal from survivors on the planet LV-895, where a Xenomorph outbreak has decimated a research team.
Fireteam Elite is designed for online play with three players, each choosing a class like Gunner, Technician, or Doc. However, you can also play the game alone; in that case, two AI companions, Alpha and Beta, will join your squad.
If you enjoy playing co-op games like Left 4 Dead, Fireteam Elite is a blast, especially if you’re a fan of the Alien franchise. The game features a variety of Xenomorphs, including the Runner from Alien 3, the Praetorian, and the Crusher. You’ll also encounter creatures mutated by the Pathogen, like the Husks from Prometheus and the powerful, gorilla-like Brute.
5. Revenge of the Savage Planet
The Joy of Exploring Alien Worlds
A central focus of Alien: Earth is the competition between Weyland–Yutani and Prodigy to collect and analyze the various alien creatures found on the Maginot, including species like the T. Ocellus, D. Plumbicare, and the Fly. A game that really captures the excitement and risks of hunting alien life on distant planets is Revenge of the Savage Planet.
While Revenge of the Savage Planet isn’t story-driven, that’s okay! The game is all about fun, colorful, and funny third-person exploration. You play as a space explorer charting five different planets, discovering and collecting plants and creatures, and building or earning new gear to help you get around.
Although Revenge of the Savage Planet follows Journey to the Savage Planet (released in 2020), you don’t need to have played the first game to enjoy it. Plus, Revenge offers both local and online cooperative gameplay.
While Revenge isn’t quite as gritty or believable as Alien: Earth, it’s still a fantastic game for capturing aliens—though it’s a much safer process than the one the crew of the Maginot likely went through to collect their dangerous alien specimens.
4. Dead Space
Alien’s True Successor
Many consider Alien to be the greatest space horror film series of all time. For me, the Dead Space game series is the best in the genre. It successfully captures the terrifying atmosphere and creature design of Alien, while also taking inspiration from the gameplay of System Shock and Resident Evil 4.
The first Dead Space game came out in 2008, developed by EA Redwood Shores (later Visceral Games). Players take on the role of engineer Isaac Clarke, who travels to the USG Ishimura with a rescue team to help the crew and find his girlfriend, Nicole Brennan. They soon discover the ship has been overrun by terrifying, zombie-like creatures called Necromorphs.
Following the original Dead Space, the franchise expanded with several sequels, spin-off stories in books and comics, and even animated movies. In 2023, Motive Studio released a remake that’s considered one of the best ever, because it perfectly captured the intense, confined atmosphere of the first game while also incorporating improvements from later installments.
Despite the remake’s modest sales, the original Dead Space trilogy and the 2023 remake remain standouts in the third-person survival horror genre. Fans of Alien will definitely find a lot to love in these games.
3. Aliens vs. Predator
Specimen Six’s Gory Freedom
The first Aliens vs. Predator comic came out from Dark Horse Comics in 1989, and ever since then, the two series have been closely connected. This has led to countless battles between these dangerous alien creatures in comics, video games, and even a couple of movies. However, many fans consider the 2010 Aliens vs. Predator game to be the best of the bunch.
Similar to earlier Aliens vs. Predator games, the 2010 title lets you play through three separate campaigns as a Colonial Marine, a Predator, and a Xenomorph. The events of each campaign influence the others as a Xenomorph outbreak unfolds on the planet BG-386.
Okay, playing as Specimen Six, the Xenomorph, is kinda weird at first because you’re running on walls and ceilings all the time. But honestly, it’s SO satisfying to silently take down those Marines, scientists, and androids. It’s exactly how playing as a Xenomorph should feel – totally brutal and awesome!
As a huge fan, I have to say the final battle in Specimen Six against so many Predators is incredible! What’s even cooler is that what happens during that fight actually changes things in the Predator campaign – you really see how the Xenomorphs’ actions and the chaos they cause have lasting, disastrous consequences on everything around them.
2. Detroit: Become Human
Fighting for Android Rights
A central idea explored in Alien: Earth is the definition of humanity – and whether being human is actually desirable, particularly when considering the Lost Boy Hybrids. The game Detroit: Become Human, created by Quantic Dream, brilliantly tackles similar questions about identity and purpose for artificial lifeforms.
The game Detroit takes place in 2038, in a world filled with incredibly lifelike androids. These androids work as helpers, police officers, laborers, and even medical staff – they’re so human-like, they’re reminiscent of the synthetic beings seen in the Alien films.
As a huge fan of games like Telltale’s The Walking Dead, I was immediately hooked by Detroit. The gameplay is all about making quick decisions – both in action sequences and during conversations – and you experience the story through the eyes of three different androids: Connor, a police investigator; Markus, who used to be a caretaker; and Kara, a housekeeper. It’s fascinating watching them all try to break free and become their own people, even though they’re still bound by the rules they were programmed with.
Every choice you make will affect not only your own character’s story and relationships, but also the stories of the other two main characters. This leads to many different endings for all three androids, ranging from positive to tragic.
1. Alien: Isolation
The Best Alien Game Ever Made
For over four decades, no video game has captured the terrifying experience of being hunted by the Xenomorph from the Alien franchise quite like Creative Assembly’s Alien: Isolation. It’s a first-person survival horror game that truly delivers on the franchise’s scares, and often exceeds them.
Okay, so the game, Isolation, takes place 15 years after the first movie – we’re talking 2137. I play as Amanda Ripley, Ellen Ripley’s daughter, and I’m part of a Weyland-Yutani team. Basically, we’re sent to Sevastopol Station hoping to find any clue about what happened to my mom, to see if she might still be alive. But when we get there, the station is a complete mess! There are survivors running around, these creepy Working Joe robots everywhere, and, of course, a Xenomorph is loose. It’s seriously chaotic.
What really makes Isolation scary is that the alien AI learns how you play. It figures out where you hide and the paths you take, making it progressively more difficult to stay hidden as the game continues.
Creative Assembly meticulously recreated the 1970s futuristic look of Alien for the game, from the architecture of Sevastopol to its machinery. They even recorded computer animations onto VHS tapes to give players a truly authentic and immersive experience, mirroring the feel of the original films.
