Alien Deathstorm Brings 80s Horror to Game Pass [Announcement]
Rebellion is pivoting hard from historical warfare to sheer cosmic terror. The studio just dropped the curtain on Alien Deathstorm during the latest Xbox Partner Preview.
It’s a brutal first-person shooter dripping with 1980s sci-fi nostalgia and high-stakes survival mechanics. Best of all—it’s hitting subscription libraries on day one.
Key Takeaways: The Quick Answer
- Alien Deathstorm is a new action-horror FPS from Rebellion, blending tense survival exploration with heavy ballistic combat.
- Players control a Combat Engineer navigating a Lovecraftian, storm-torn off-world colony inspired by chunky 80s VHS sci-fi.
- The game targets a 2027 release on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC, launching day-one on Xbox Game Pass.
Surviving the 80s Analogue Nightmare
You play as a Combat Engineer—a highly trained first responder sent to investigate a sudden communications blackout. You aren’t just a disposable grunt with a rifle.
Your job handles search, rescue, and demolitions on a remote extraterrestrial facility. The aesthetic skips modern sleekness for mechanical keyboards and heavy, industrial grit.
According to Head of Design Ben Fisher, the team pulled heavy inspiration from Lovecraftian horror. Expect terrifying alien aberrations hunting you through the dark, keeping you constantly on edge.
Gunplay Meets Atmospheric Cataclysm
This isn’t a mindless run-and-gun arcade shooter. Rebellion is leaning into a tight hybrid of high-tension exploration and satisfying ballistic action.
The planet itself wants you dead just as much as the monsters do. The titular “Deathstorm” is a seasonal, planet-wide cataclysm tearing the colony apart without warning.
You will have to read the environment and seek shelter from hurricane-force winds. The weather mechanics promise nasty surprises for anyone caught out in the open.

Securing Your Ticket to the Storm
We don’t have a concrete release date yet. Rebellion is currently aiming to launch Alien Deathstorm sometime in 2027. It will drop on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Xbox and PC players get a massive perk with this release to soften the blow to their wallets.
The game will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass and supports Xbox Play Anywhere. Dodging the standard $70 premium retail price to play a massive new release on launch day is always a major win.
