North American ratings board sheds new light on portable sci-fi action platformer game; WayForward Technologies indicated as developer.
Sega currently has a pair of Aliens titles in development. Gearbox Software is handling Aliens: Colonial Marines and Creative Assembly is at work on an unannounced series entry. However, it appears Sega has also commissioned a third Aliens game, this one for the DS.
According to a recent classification by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board, a T-for-Teen rated side-scrolling franchise game called Aliens: Infestation is on the way for Nintendo’s portable.
Though not yet officially announced by Sega, a rating by the Australian government from May indicates that WayForward Tech (Batman: The Brave and the Bold, A Boy and His Blob) is handling development of the game.
The ratings description states that Infestation will have players controlling a space marine squad as they run and jump through side-scrolling levels. Additionally, the listing indicates players will “use rifles, pistols, flamethrowers, and explosives to kill enemy soldiers and aliens (i.e., ‘xenomorphs’).”
As of press time, Sega had not responded to GameSpot’s request for comment.
