Alien: Rogue — Part One

Alien: Rogue Incursion — Part One hit Nintendo Switch 2 on April 21 as a same-day eShop release priced at $19.99. (gematsu.com) Developer Survios said the Switch 2 version is available now, while a PlayStation 4 edition is planned for the “near future.” Gematsu reported the release on April 21, 2026. (gematsu.com) This is the latest platform expansion for the non-virtual-reality “Evolved Edition,” which previously launched on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC on September 30, 2025. IGN’s game page lists that September 2025 release date for the edition. (ign.com) The Switch 2 release lands days before Alien Day on April 26, the annual franchise date tied to LV-426 in the films. Nintendo Life and Survios’ press materials both linked the timing to that calendar beat. (nintendolife.com, gamespress.com) On Switch 2, Survios is leaning on one hardware-specific feature: mouse-style aiming with a detached Joy-Con placed on a surface. IGN and Nintendo Everything both reported that the game switches to that aiming mode automatically. (ign.com, nintendoeverything.com) The game follows Zula Hendricks, an ex-Colonial Marine sent to investigate a distress call on the planet Purdan. Survios’ launch materials describe Part One as the first half of a two-part story set between the events of Alien and Aliens. (gamespress.com, finalweapon.net) The release also adds one more recognizable name to the early Switch 2 software lineup as publishers test how quickly they can move recent console games onto Nintendo’s new hardware. Gematsu framed the launch as part of that first wave, and the game arrived without a long pre-release campaign. (gematsu.com, nintendolife.com) For now, the immediate change is simple: Switch 2 owners can buy Part One today for $19.99, and PlayStation 4 players are next in line. (gematsu.com)
