will they allow us the kill the alien queen in future updates?

[QQEQQ]

?

[Grizz_FMJ]

doubtful unless we have a ship to back us up. You ever see the size and durability of those damn things minus this game ?

[Reignhardt]

ha ha... im just about to do the last mission and kinda a spoiler subject line... heh

Not that I'm super surprised...

[Delta_Assault]

Dude, if an Alien Warrior has that much health... I don't even wanna know how much an Alien Queen will have. She'll be a friggin WoW raid boss...

No one said it had to be with normal weapon fire, just that there be some kind of combat encounter. It could have been damaging her with world environment pieces or something else.

The last mission just suddenly abruptly ends, it feels like there is another mission, or a cutscene, or SOMETHING missing from the game. It's one of the biggest disappointments in AFE; so I really REALLY hope they do something to expand the campaign and solve it.

Right now there is a build up, the queen appears, you are running to a check point, you touch it aaaand- now you are in the ship and it says good job and that's it.

When it first happened I thought I made a mistake, pressed a button and skipped a scene or something.

Most of the previous Alien games allowed you to kill the queen and most of those you played Solo lol.

But seeing as they're planning on 3 DLCs down the line hopefully one of them contains a mission to kill her. Also hopefully more enemy variety, I like sticking to the source material, but the source material equates to "Aliens take a mutated form of whatever creature they spawn from" so that allows a lot of creative freedom.

it's just bad that we don't get to fight the boss in a boss fight

I would just do a mission set that follows what the other fireteam was doing when you were playing. Could change how the ending works too where which mission you do determines which fireteam makes it out.

That opens the door for like, a PvE versus mode of sorts where you can have two fireteams competing in a mission or something even if they wanted to add a game mode like that.
(Though, the first thing works just as well even if they didn't of course)

Too late. I killed her this morning by overloading the reactor.

[AndyH]

Was going to say... you pretty much reduced the entire refinery to subatomic particles. It's the only way to be sure.

[Harmona*]

Bruh... the alien queen died after the fireteam overloaded the nuclear reactor and the entire space station exploded.

That was the point of the last mission.

Would have been a lot cooler if we got a cinematic of it. The game does just kind of end.

[Khryst]

to be fair, with the exception of alien resurrection (and please god let's not get into that mess) they haven't actually shown a queen be killed. Defeated yes presumably killed off but never actually shown to be killed.

Aliens she's sucked into space, which xenos can survive int he vacuum
Alien 3 it was still in it's chestburster phase and didn't have the harded exoskeleton yet
AvP it was chained and dropped into the ocean presumably either going back into hybernation due to the extreme cold or crushed by the pressure of the depths but never acutally shown dead.


yes i know in the comics and books they have queens being killed but most of those aren't considered "canon"

Is this game considered canon?

and the players should get the chance to fight with the queen. And the queen never dies like that. it probably followed players back to the ship

The story will continue with the DLC from the sound of it during their Q&A on Friday:

Q: Are there any plans for movie tie in content, paid DLC or free? Characters, locations, etc? Excited for the future of the game, you’ve made a good one.

A: We’ve been focused on adding new stories and characters to the Aliens universe. There’s more LV-895 story to tell. : )
