Only two days remain to be a part of ALIEN RPG history! Free League and 20th Century Studios’ Kickstarter for the Evolved Edition of ALIEN The Roleplaying Game will end on April 17, 2025, at 3 PM EDT. This campaign has shattered the record for Free League’s most-backed project of all time, already raising nearly $2 million USD in three weeks.

Those who contribute can look forward to rewards ranging from additional miniatures to extra content, including the Tartarus Sector campaign setting, the Chrysalis bonus adventure by Connor Alexander, and locations and items from the new ALIEN: Romulus film. Two more stretch goals remain: a GM screen design based on the iconic MU/TH/UR interface from ALIEN, and an ALIEN-themed dice bag.

“Even after all these years, it’s been inspiring to still see so much passion from our community,” said Tomas Härenstam, ALIEN RPG lead designer and co-founder of Free League. “The Evolved Edition would’ve never been possible without their feedback and support, so this Kickstarter has been unforgettable for us, as it has truly felt like we’ve all made this game together.”



ALIEN The Roleplaying Game Evolved Edition expands upon the original beloved TTRPG experience and provides an updated and revised version that will feel both modern and fresh for rookie and veteran players. The Evolved core rules include new artwork, new content, and various new tools for players and Game Mothers alike, all fully compatible with previous releases and game material. Exciting features from this expansive title include:

A bold new look and feel to the Core Rulebook, with all new page layouts by Johan Nohr (of MÖRK BORG fame), new interior maps and artwork, and a stunning new core book cover by renowned artist Colm Geoghegan (Creepy Duck Design);
Life path character generation;
Revised and expanded core rules for talents, stress and panic, and stealth;
Reworked combat rules for armor, ammo, grenades, stuns, and spaceships;
New iconic weapons, items, ships, and locations from the hit film Alien: Romulus;
Various new rules and tools in high demand from players, including zero gravity, miniatures play support, and expanded campaign play;
The Tartarus Sector campaign setting;
And last but not least, Last Survivor, a robust solo mode designed by masters of the solo trade, Shawn Tomkin and Matt Click.

For those who may find roleplaying in the ALIEN universe daunting, the Evolved Edition is the perfect installment for newcomers! The reworked Starter Set has everything players could ever need for game night, including abridged rules, character sheets, custom dice, larger miniature-friendly game maps, initiative cards, reference cards, various handouts, tokens, and an expanded Evolved edition of the fan-favorite Hope’s Last Day scenario set on Hadley’s Hope just prior to the unforgettable events of ALIENS.

Long-time ALIEN fans will love Rapture Protocol, a new cinematic adventure boxed set that captures the heart and soul of the franchise's early outings. The set features a crew of a small star freighter on a resupply run to the remote industrial colony, which, unbeknownst to them, is crawling with danger as far as the eye can see. To complement this expansion, a new Miniatures Set featuring 28mm scale, high-quality miniatures of soldiers, space truckers, Xenomorphs, and more is designed to make Rapture Protocol and other adventures throughout the ALIEN RPG series feel as immersive as possible.
Plus, all-new Evolved content will be made available to play across a wide range of popular Virtual Tabletop Platforms, including Alchemy, Foundry, Roll20, and Demiplane.
