Alien Breed Evolution Evokes Fond Amiga Memories Later This Year

Worms creators Team17 Software formally announced its plans to release Alien Breed Evolution, an Unreal Engine 3-powered remake of its Amiga top-down shooter.

As the original Alien Breed is now 18-years-old, some of you may be too young to remember it. Think Gauntlet meets Aliens. Or, you know, think Alien Syndrome. (No, don't think of the more recent Wii re-imagining. Think of the Sega arcade original.)

Team17 didn't confirm a platform (or platforms) for Alien Breed Evolution, but we hope they'll offer co-op alien killing enjoyment for anyone with access to the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. The "retro modern" remake is due later this year, with the developer promising more details before end of Summer.

Alien Breed Remake Coming In 2009

Remember Alien Breed? It was an Amiga classic, later rolling up on the (DOS) PC. If you are unfamiliar, think Gauntlet, with a heavy dose of Aliens - space Marines battling wave after wave of slavering death, the usual deal.

Well, remember it or no - it's coming back. Team 17 have confirmed to Videogaming247 that they are working on a remake for release next year.

Quite how it will distinguish itself from all the other space-marine-battling-wave-after.. etc, games that have arrived since the early 90s — not to mention the officially licensed Aliens games — remains to be seen. It was fun at the time though, so maybe Team 17 still have a bit of the old magic left down the back of the action gaming sofa.
