The best of these, Aliens: Dark Descent, is on sale right now and it's hit a new historical low price on Steam. Read the rest of the story...

We are sorry for the inconvenience and hope you'll have a great time facing the new difficulty parameters we brought for you in the last update. You should now properly get your marines when creating a NG+ campaign using a save created before the release of the New Game + Update but please note that in some cases the experience won during the Mission 11 Olduvai Dig Site will not be saved. If you want to be sure to have your marines with the experience gained during that mission please follow those steps: Load your last Otago save or your last Olduvai Dig Site (Mission 11) save Complete the mission 12: Redemption Go back to the main menu Disclaimer: This hotfix is aiming players creating New Game + campaigns based on campaign saves that were created before the release of the New Game + update.

We are once again sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience. Have a great time playing Aliens: Dark Descent!

We immediatly looked into it and we fixed the issue. With this hotifx you will now be able to create a New Game + campaign and get all your marines just like it was intented. You should now be able to correctly create a NG+ campaign using a save from a campaign created before the release of the New Game + update. Like we said in the patch note yesterday, in some cases the experience won during the Mission 11 Olduvai Dig Site will not be saved. If you want to be sure to have your marines with the experience gained during that mission please follow those steps: Load your last Otago save or your last Olduvai Dig Site (Mission 11) save Complete the mission 12: Redemption Go back to the main menu We are truly sorry for this unexpected bug and hope you'll have a great time playing Aliens: Dark Descent.

Patch Notes: New Game+ updateOct 26, 2023 - Community Announcements- DISTRESS SIGNAL - Attention, this is a Priority One distress message from the survivors at Jackson's Landing on the planet Lethe. We are broadcasting on all available channels. The situation here has escalated to a critical state. All lines of communication with governance and security forces have been severed. The creatures we are facing grow increasingly dangerous, showing new capabilities for rapid nesting and expansion. The situation is desperate. Some of our scouts have reported seeing a contingent of Colonial Marines engaging the creatures. They appear seasoned, experienced in combat, and potentially knowledgeable about the threat we are facing. While it is unclear how they are faring, any information they possess could be invaluable to our survival. If this message reaches anyone capable of providing assistance, we implore you to relay our distress signal to the Colonial Marines stationed on this planet—or better yet, come to our aid yourself.
