While most people primarily think of the movies, the Alien franchise has also had a significant presence in video games since the 1980s. That presence continues today, with more titles on the way.

Set in the Alien universe, Alien: Rogue Incursion – Part One sees players suit up as rogue Colonial Marine Zula Hendricks on a mission to the planet Purdan (LV-354) in search of a former squadmate.

Alien enemies are a common theme in games, often portrayed as having bad intentions towards humankind. Halo: Combat Evolved features Master Chief defending humanity against invading Covenant aliens.
