Russian developer Valerii Maksimov has unveiled a new trailer for his upcoming dark VR shooter Xenolocus, a project heavily inspired by the iconic Alien film franchise.

Xenolocus is an atmospheric first-person VR shooter with survival horror elements. Players step into the boots of an elite soldier deployed to a derelict space station. Your mission: navigate procedurally generated levels, battle diverse alien monstrosities in claustrophobic corridors using an arsenal of pistols, rifles, flamethrowers, and turrets, scavenge for vital resources, and rescue any remaining survivors. The game's official page is already live on Steam.

Xenolocus is slated for a PC release in Q4 2026. A specific launch date has yet to be announced.

In other shooter news, the sci-fi title INDUSTRIA 2, which draws inspiration from Half-Life 2, recently launched on Steam. Additionally, Valve's platform saw the release of Far Far West, a co-op shooter described as a mix of Deep Rock Galactic, Serious Sam, and Helldivers 2. That project has already garnered over 95% positive reviews.
