Creative Assembly's Alien Game Coming To Consoles And PC? News

In a slew of new job ads for SEGA's Creative Assembly studio, platforms for the developer's mysterious Alien project have seemingly emerged alongside indications that 'next next' generation consoles may even be targeted for the project.

One particular ad for the position of Graphics Programmer on the studio's console team (which is known to be working on the Alien project) is looking for a candidate who will “work as part of the team developing all aspects of a game specific engine for 360, PS3 and PC and other platforms”.

In a further twist, The Creative Assembly may even be eyeing up the PlayStation 4 or Xbox 720 as possible platforms for the Alien title:

“We are seeking a console programmer who is interested in pushing the boundaries of next (and ‘next next’) generation consoles to their limits,” reads the ad.

Very little has been confirmed about The Creative Assembly's Alien game at this stage other than it takes Ridley Scott's original Alien film as its basis and that it will be on consoles. The project was outed by Ed Vaizey, the UK government's Minister for Communications, Culture and Creative Industries earlier this year, with the studio subsequently opening up job ads for the project. SEGA is yet to formally announce the game.
