Alien Breed is one of the Amiga’s most loved franchises since its release 35 years ago. Now, a collaboration between original developer Team 17, the new iteration of Commodore, and retro streaming service Antstream Arcade brings all the games together to celebrate the milestone. The new collection brings all six entries from that original era to modern consoles and PC for the first time.
The Alien Breed 35th Anniversary Collection will launch on Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox, and PlayStation on September 24, and will come to Nintendo Switch later this year. Each game is faithful to its original release on the Commodore Amiga while adding modern updates that include dual-stick control mapping, instant save states, retro screen filters, rumble feedback, and peer-to-peer online co-op in supporting titles. The collection also includes brand-new challenge modes built specifically for this release, along with an archive tucked inside the collection’s own space station setting, packed with developer interviews, early design documents, and previously unreleased material.
“When I was eight, I persuaded my parents to let me watch a certain Ridley Scott movie. I had nightmares for two years afterwards. A few years later, it was payback time! Alien Breed is the reason a lot of us stayed up way too late as kids, creeping through those corridors with the motion tracker beeping and no idea what was waiting around the corner,” said Peri Fractic, President of Commodore. “Team17 built something that still holds up without any nostalgia required, and bringing all six games together in one place, running the way they were meant to run, felt like exactly the right project to launch Commodore back into publishing.”
“As a British game studio, we are immensely proud to be working on a legendary gaming legacy from such an important British publisher,” said Steve Cottam, CEO of Antstream Arcade. “At Antstream, we believe it is absolutely vital to preserve games for future generations, and this collection honors that mission while opening it up to a new generation of gamers.”
