Alien Breed Returns Next Month with Massive PS5 Compilation, Complete with Online Horde Mode 1

Team 17’s sci-fi shooter Alien Breed, celebrating its 35th anniversary this year, will return in September with an epic compilation akin to the gold standard Digital Eclipse bundles.

This will feature every game from the first era of the franchise, including the Alien Breed 3D titles.

In addition, it’ll feature new content like Horde Mode and the Vault Interactive Archives, including concept art and interviews with members from the original dev team.

If that’s not enough, you’ll be able to play these games as god intended in their original 4:3 format – or enable a toggle with full 16:9 widescreen support. Various CRT filters will be included to complete the retro feel.

I’ve never been the biggest Alien Breed fan myself, but I’m all for preservation efforts like this handled the right way. I’ll be picking this bundle up.

Wow, I didn't see this coming. We really are going 16-bit retro with Soccer Kid and Defender of the Crown also getting the collection treatment over the past month or two.

Alien Breed II: Tower Assault was a personal favourite, so day 1 for me.

CD32 Tower Assault better have the original intro video or it’s a no buy from me. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

@HoodedSpirit Hey there. I work at Team17 and can 100% confirm the FMV intro will be there. Not only that… You will get to hear how it was made.

I’m so excited for this- o player Alien Breed on my Amiga and the other day I was wondering if was available on PS5.

Will definitely pick this up- wonder what the pricing is for it?

It reminds me of my first CD 32 game , Alien Breed : Special Edition 92. Good memories....
Anyway... why not ? A nice compilation...;
I heard also , few weeks ago about a "possible" Infamous compilation on PS5. I say "Go for it !!"

This takes me back! I'm getting flash backs of screenshots in gamesmaster magazine. I never played this series myself though. I've no excuse not to try it now.
