Traptics announces Xenopurge, a sci-fi real-time tactics roguelite where you command a team of not-Colonial Marines fighting a not-xenomorph in a not-Aliens game inspired by the classic action movie. You can check out the Listing on Steam, which says the release date is "to be announced," though we're told it will be Q2 2025. The Official Teaser Trailer is a little unusual, showing a shakycam interface where you observe and command your squad of seemingly identical clones using a retro vector monitor. A Kickstarter will kick off down the road, but in the meantime, those interested should sign up for closed beta testing by hitting the "request access" button on Steam. Here's more:

Xenopurge is a sci-fi tactical squad-based game where you take on the role of a commander orchestrating humanity’s offence against an alien menace. Operate from the safety of your remote command center, where every action, from issuing orders to monitoring your squad’s survival, is made through tactical displays and live mission feeds. You best make the right calls, or you'll hear your squad's screams in your ear...

By blending real-time strategy with a tight roguelite gameplay loop, Xenopurge challenges you to adapt to shifting mission objectives and lead a team of soldiers against overwhelming odds.

Inspired by the tension and Aliens and the claustrophobic corridors of Warhammer 40K: Space Hulk, the game’s retro-futuristic aesthetic and unnerving horror atmosphere ensure every decision feels critical.
