Apparently seeing VR as less a promotional vehicle and more a 'new media opportunity', Fox will utilize the tech in a similar fashion to their Martian VR experience by giving this year's Alien: Covenant movie its VR spin. Aiming to "scare the pants off its viewers", we're certain Fox doesn't want to run into the trouble of having cinema-goers fearing the loss of their breeches in a public environment. There's no solid release date in mind just yet, but we can imagine they'll aim to double it up as a promotional gig closer to the movie's May release date.
There's a million different ways to scare yourself silly in video games, but Resident Evil 7 is a fresh experience
For those who'd rather have their pants figuratively blown off a little early, however, likely know of the best way to manage that while keeping to the Alien universe. Alien: Isolation's experimental VR support has long been the go-to choice for players looking to fill themselves with dread. While it's a scary game on a traditional screen, there's something to be said about throwing yourself into it. Hopefully it'll be a similar experience at the end of the day. The framework is already in place if they're looking to release on the major VR platforms again.
