Gamescom ’26: Brutal conditions and foes alike highlight look at Alien Deathstorm

From Rebellion, Alien Deathstorm continues to look like a game that FPS fans won’t want to sleep on. Check out the latest.

A Deathstorm yes, but hostile aliens too

Trapped on an exo-colony that’s embroiled in a planetary Deathstorm seems like it’d be a harrowing experience. So does facing down legions of hostile beasts, while trying to survive said storm. We’re talking about upcoming first-person shooter Alien Deathstorm there, a game that’s firmly on our radar.

For those not following the game, it’s developer Rebellion‘s latest project. We first reported on it a few months back, though it’s looking even better now. In the latest look, genre fans can check out even more of the lone engineer in action.

We got a good look at the above thanks to a showing at Gamescom today, and it’s looking sharp. The levels of atmosphere are off the charts in this new trailer, as the storm is a constant threat to everything in its path. That includes shearing off sections of a building that the engineer is making his/her way through.

Then there are the aliens. Looking almost as relentless as the storm, the tidal wave of savage foes that’ve over taken the colony look to come in a few forms, all of which are sufficiently nasty.

Alien Deathstorm sees you exploring a devastated off-world colony which has been ravaged by a cataclysmic mega-storm and overrun by dangerous aliens. You will have to use your skills and firepower to discover what has happened to the colony. You knew it was going to be bad, but it’s much worse than you expected, and it’s going downhill fast. What you thought was a rescue mission has now become a furious fight for survival. 

Action-horror first-person shooter Alien Deathstorm puts you in the heat of the action as an isolated Engineer faced with insurmountable odds. Dropped into a decimated human colony at the mercy of both a planetary scale storm and a seemingly endless swarm of predatory aliens. The storm is an ever-present and escalating danger. It has already wreaked unprecedented damage on the planet and proves a constant, ongoing threat to the intrepid Engineer. 

Rebellion press release

So, what’d you think? For our part, we’re more impressed with Alien Deathstorm every time we see it. So far anyway, it’s looking like a title to watch, as it heads towards its Spring of 2027 release for the XBOX Series X|S, PC (via Steam and XBOX on PC), and PS5. Along with the those platforms, players can also look for Alien Deathstorm to hit Game Pass on day one, and be XBOX Cloud playable.
