Aliens: Dark Descent

Role(s): Production Intern

Aliens: Dark Descent is a squad-based, single-player action game in the iconic Alien franchise. In Aliens: Dark Descent, the player commands a squad of hardened Colonial Marines to stop a terrifying Xenomorph outbreak on Planet Lethe. Players lead their soldiers in real-time combat against iconic Xenomorphs, rogue operatives from the insatiable Weyland-Yutani Corporation, and a host of horrifying creatures new to the Alien franchise.

My game production internship on Aliens: Dark Descent was with the Walt Disney Company’s Parks, Experiences and Products division, I supported full-time producers, specifically interacting with our multinational licensing partners from Focus Entertainment and Tindalos Interactive, the game’s publisher and in house developer.

I prepared and submitted game assets for internal franchise review, and coordinated meetings and communication with stakeholders, developers, and franchise team to discuss development pains, deadlines, and marketing strategies. I was responsible for testing and prioritizing game bugs and issues. I reviewed trailer footage and promotional material and was responsible for detailed minutes of the many cross-disciplinary meetings.

The game can be purchased on steam here.
