Creating the world of Alien: Rogue Incursion, the upcoming VR shooter, has been something of a journey into design archeology for the game's art team. Set after Aliens and influenced by Alien, and developed alongside but separate from Alien: Romulus, the game has the same 'used future' art style - dirty, functional and worn - that grounds the movies, ahead of descending into the organic, primal complexity of the Xenomorph's habitat.
