See the first Gameplay Trailer for Alien Hominid Invasion

Posted on February 27, 2020 by John Scalzo

PAX East kicked off this morning, and The Behemoth has used the annual game expo to give fans a chance to try out their next project, Alien Hominid Invasion. But for those of us who couldn’t make the trek to Boston, they also uploaded a brand new Gameplay Trailer for the game, which has been embedded above.

The short clip gives us a nice peak at the developer’s commitment to “reimagine” Alien Hominid for a new generation of players. In addition to showcasing a variety of new ways to beat the dreaded Agents, Alien Hominid Invasion will include four-player cooperative play, a non-linear world map, procedurally-generated levels, and customizable alien mutations that grant superpowers such as speed, healing, and flight:

Alien Hominid Invasion is packed with chaos, mayhem, and a whole lot of explosions. Unlock and equip an arsenal of weapons and boosts, level up, then beam down to invade Earth with up to three other friends. Abduct intel from your enemies to sabotage their plans, observe the oddities of human life, blow up bosses, and mutate into a variety of powerful Alien forms in order to take down the not-so-secret Agents that are dead set on ruining your day.

Alien Hominid Invasion doesn’t have a release date, but it’s currently in development for the PC, Switch, and Xbox One.

The Behemoth will “eventually” bring Alien Hominid Invasion to PC and consoles

Posted on January 31, 2020 by John Scalzo

After bringing Castle Crashers to the PS4 and Switch in 2019, The Behemoth is finally ready to announce their next project… and it’s a sequel to their very first game. The developer revealed that “Game 5” is actually Alien Hominid Invasion, and they promised that it’ll “eventually” make its way to PC and consoles. It’s too early to know for sure, but that “eventually” might mean we’re in for a bit of a wait.

In the meantime, The Behemoth will bring a playable demo of Alien Hominid Invasion to this year’s PAX East and EGX Rezzed events. New details will be announced at PAX East, but for now, the developer wants fans to anticipate a “drastically different” Alien Hominid experience:

Alien Hominid Invasion will stand alone as a new title in The Behemoth’s catalogue. Gameplay, progression, and mechanics have all been reworked and are drastically different from those present in the original Alien Hominid HD. Alien Hominid Invasion will also include unique weapons, character customization, non-linear levels, and more.
