Memorable characters and iconic creatures
Your journey begins with the crashing of the Otago spacecraft on Planet Lethe due to a Xenomorph breakout that led to the activation of the Cerberus Protocol—a planetary lockdown prohibiting any vessel from entering or leaving the planet. This sets the stage for Aliens: Dark Descent’s original campaign where you face off against renowned Xenomorph entities—from Facehuggers to Praetorians, Alien Queens, and more—as well as rogue human commandos and a novel menace.
You’ll come across an array of characters driving the storyline, including Maeko Hayes, the Deputy Administrator at Lethe’s Pioneer Station; Jonas Harper, a Sergeant for the US Colonial Marines; and Barbara Pryce, the Colony Director for Weyland-Yutani. Their actions and choices guide the progression of the plot, adding layers of intrigue and suspense.
