Free League and Titan Books Announce Creative Partnership for the ALIEN Universe
| Free League Publishing and Titan Books today announced a collaboration to publish a unified storyline set within the ALIEN Universe. For 2022 and into 2023, the editorial and writing teams will share assets and coordinate plotlines to form a cohesive narrative across three original novels and the multiple award-winning ALIEN RPG. “The ALIEN RPG has established the ‘Frontier War,’ as remote human colonies come under assault by an unknown enemy, dropping a deadly pathogen that unleashes monsters on those worlds,” Titan Acquisitions Editor Steve Saffel said. “At the same time, in the wake of the Titan novel Alien: Into Charybdis, political tensions on Earth reach a boiling point.” These dramatic events play out in the recently released ALIEN RPG: Colonial Marines Operations Manualby Free League and three upcoming trade paperback novels by Titan Books, each independent but all set against a dramatic galactic backdrop: Alien: Colony War by David Barnett (April 2022) Alien: Inferno’s Fall by Phillipa Ballantine and Clara Carija (July 2022) Alien: Enemy of My Enemy by Mary SanGiovanni (February 2023) The results will set the stage for further developments within the ALIEN Universe, as depicted in the roleplaying game and original fiction. Find out more about the novel Alien: Colony War here. To further establish the connection between the game and the novels, the ALIEN RPG lead setting writer Andrew E.C. Gaska will develop three unique RPG scenarios which will appear as bonus features in the books, one per novel. The first such scenario, Fallout, is included in Alien: Colony War. Readers intrigued by these adventures will have the opportunity to further explore the RPG experience. |

| ABOUT ALIEN – THE ROLEPLAYING GAME [Winner of the Gold ENNIE for Best Game 2020] Space is vast, dark, and not your friend. Try to scream and no one can hear you—hold your breath and you rupture your lungs. And there are things lurking in the shadows—things strange and different and deadly. Things alien. The multiple award-winning official ALIEN – The roleplaying game offers a universe of body horror and corporate brinkmanship, where synthetic people play god while space truckers and marines serve host to newborn ghoulish creatures. It is a harsh and unforgiving universe, and you are nothing if not expendable. Stay alive if you can. The official ALIEN roleplaying game core rulebook was released in 2019 by Free League Publishing in partnership with 20th Century Studios. The game immediately sold out its first print run and swiftly entered the Top-5 list of best-selling tabletop roleplaying games in the fall of 2019. It won the ENNIE Award for Best Game 2020 and the People’s Choice Award for Best RPG at the UK Game Expo. The game is currently being translated into seven languages. |
