'Alienation' (PS4) Adding Local Co-op, Leagues System

by Rainier on June 28, 2016 @ 10:01 a.m. PDT

Alienation is a top-down action game where you wield a variety of weapons killing all sorts of alien scum.

Unleash a devastating array of conventional, hybrid and Alien weaponry and eliminate the Alien masses with extreme firepower in massively destructible environments. Experiment with different player classes, upgrade key skills and customize weapons to create your own hero character that suits the way you play.

Join forces online and show off your skills in action packed co-op multiplayer or invade other players as a single minded and mercenary bounty hunter.

Track your kills and compare statistics against those of other players, and help players all around the world to stop the Aliens from taking over. Collect loot and clues to discover the truth behind the alien invasion.

At Housemarque, we believe community is king. We read and discuss every comment you write, every feedback you send. Your opinions are really important to us, and we heard you loud and clear: local co-op will be added to Alienation on July 5th! So gather your friends and spouses, buy some snacks and make space on the sofa: local co-op comes with 4 concurrent players on the same screen, and in classic friendship-breaking fashion you’ll have to fight over who gets the best loot when opening a crate!

The new update also introduces the much requested Leagues system: divided into 5 Ranks and 1-week cycles, Leagues will allow you to climb the ladders of glory and unlock new bullet colors in the process.

In addition to that we’re adding two new difficulty levels for all the Alienation veterans: Expert and Master. Along with these, you’ll find 3 new trophies, a richer Arkship experience (with new rooms, harder enemies, better loot), adjustments to Legendary weapons loot drop rates and increased Hero levels cap.

All of this comes for free. If you’d like to support us, on July 5th we’re also releasing on PlayStation Store Survivor’s Pack, Alienation’s first DLC, individual items to purchase separately and the Alienation Season Pass!

Survivor’s Pack includes the possibility to make all main weapons available to all classes, a new piece of gear (the Vortex Grenade, which sucks all enemies to a central gravity point dealing constant damage) and three exclusive bullet colors. Get it for only $5.99/2.99€. The Season Pass, priced $9.99/7.99€, gives you a big bundle discount on this and upcoming DLC, including Conqueror’s PackVeteran Heroes Pack, the game’s soundtrack and Alienation’s Dynamic Theme.

The Allied Forces have come across violent specimens ranging from human-like foot soldiers to extraterrestrial flesh mountains, and while they are spreading across all corners of the earth, their focus is clearly to gather at strategic military locations away from populated areas. We’ve met them in all weather conditions and even in the darkest winter nights the hostiles do not relent for a second. The only way to defeat the enemy is with uncanny tactics combined with superior firepower.

Customizing your character layouts will give you and your team a distinct advantage over the beasts from beyond. Many soldiers have returned from the field in a body bag after heading out with too much confidence. The run-and-gun strategy will get you a few victories, but it will not win the war. Coordination and building trust with your teammates will ultimately be the difference between life and death. This trial will not be an easy one, but let’s make sure that the slimebags know that they have come to the wrong planet.
