VR Studio’s Upcoming Game Inspired by Major Movie’s Flagship IP

Okay, so here’s the deal. I stumbled across this little nugget about Maze Theory’s next move after Thief VR. It’s like they’re teasing us with some secret big-name game tied to an upcoming movie, right? Anyway, so, they’re hooking up with Vertigo Games for Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow. Meanwhile, they’re brewing something else too. Codename? Project Xeno. Sounds all mysterious and sci-fi — almost too perfect, if you catch my drift.

And here’s where it gets juicy. They’re hunting for like this Lead Gameplay Designer, a Creative Lead type for what they’re calling a “groundbreaking” VR-MR extravaganza. My brain’s screaming: new-age sci-fi blockbuster vibes. Huge goals, like those weekend plans you know you’ll never follow through.

Now, they kept it pretty hush-hush, right? No spoilers or anything. But there’s this whole emotional storytelling, innovative gameplay jazz they’re hyping. Made me think of Ridley Scott’s new Alien project, because, joke’s on us, “Xeno” kinda screams Alien – those Xenomorphs creeped everyone out. But oh, the plot thickens! Apparently, Survios is still messing around with Alien: Rogue Incursion, so who knows what’s up. Speculation, thy name is gaming.

Maze Theory’s no rookie to these licensed tie-ins though. Remember Peaky Blinders? Well, they cooked that up. Doctor Who shenanigans too. But they’re not just about borrowing other people’s toys — they’ve got goodies like Freerunner Championships and some trippy puzzle game Infinite Inside. Oh, and they’re dabbling in PlayStation VR2 with Ancient Dungeon VR. Busy bees, really.

They’re keeping mum about which platforms we’ll get this on and when it’s hitting our screens. But, you know, fingers crossed, we’ll hear about Project Xeno sooner or later. Waiting’s the hardest part, isn’t it?
