Alien: Blackout, the Amanda Ripley-starring survival horror that launched on mobile back in 2019, is being delisted from the iOS App Store and Google Play on 31st October.
Alien: Blackout follows Amanda Ripley (daughter of Ellen Ripley) as she attempts to guide four survivors to safety aboard the Xenomorph-infested Mendel Station, viewing their progress through security cameras and via an overhead station map.
It’s officially “not related” to Creative Assembly’s superb 2014 first-person horror Alien: Isolation, despite being set just a few days after the game and sharing a protagonist – although that bit of information wasn’t revealed until Blackout’s announcement began to draw ire from fans angry at what appeared to be a sequel releasing exclusively for mobile.
Nearly four years later, publisher 505 Go has announced it’ll be delisting Alien: Blackout later this month. “We have made the hard decision to sunset Alien: Blackout,” it wrote in a statement shared on social media. “To allow all of our players ample team to finalise their adventures, Alien: Blackout will remain available on the App Store, Google Play, and Amazon store for the next 30 days, sunsetting on 31st October, 2023.”
