On January 5th 2019, fans were excited
to see a post on the Alien official twitter
attached with a 30 second video, believing
it to be the announcement they had been
waiting four years for.
Two days later on the 7th, fans went from
beyond excited to deeply enraged when
Alien: Blackout was announced for mobile.
On the game developer D3Go!'s website,
the description for the game states on the
last sentence, "Alien: Blackout is a unique
fear-inducing horror premium mobile game
experience that will test the inner nerves of
both Alien and horror fans alike, where life
can end in an instant."
Fans angry over the mobile game’s reveal
and took to Social Media to express their
disappointment.

The gameplay features aren’t much to calm
fans either as Alien: Blackout uses the same
concept as Five Nights At Freddy's. The
gameplay description reads, “Using only the
space station’s limited power supply to
operate a holographic map, surveillance
cameras, and motion tracker, attempt to
remain hidden and protect your crew from
the perfect hunter in seven fear-inducing
levels.”

The fires of rage never died down from
Blizzard’s own controversy, when the
studio faced similar outrage during Blizzcon,
when it showed the reveal trailer for
Diablo Immortal on mobile, whose YouTube
trailer has over 720 thousand dislikes.
It appears that Fox would prefer to follow
in Blizzards footsteps and make a cash
grab mobile game which will most likely be
filled with in-game purchases than a quality
game made for loyal fans of the franchise.
