SEGA and Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising have announced a worldwide exclusive agreement to bring game content based on the Alien film franchise to next-generation gaming systems. Multiple titles, including a first-person shooter and a role playing game, are currently in pre-production with the first to be released in 2009. Securing the rights to produce Alien titles reinforces SEGA's strategy of combining premium licensed content with original IP to aggressively expand its global business.

Since its 1979 debut, Alien and its three sequels have grossed more than $557 million worldwide, garnering numerous awards, including two Academy Awards . In 2002, Alien was deemed "culturally significant" by the United States Library of Congress and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
