Cliff Bleszinski has revealed on Twitter that his former game studio - Boss Key Productions - had been in talks with Fox to develop a new Alien title.
When Fox was purchased by Disney this led to the concept being shelved, but prior to that Boss Key Productions had managed to lay out the basic concept of the title. Namely, the player would take on the role of a grown-up Newt in an Earth-based shooter. Newt would be guided by Ripley and aided by a Bishop-esque robot called Casey.

She died between Alien 2 and 3. Whether that was a good choice or not is beside the point, but I always think it's very weak to make a story in a continues franchise that then ignores and tries to retcon certain parts of it, just because someone doesn't like what's done before. That goes for games and movies, in Alien, but also in other franchises like Star Trek or Terminator. New material should just 'deal' with it.
Not sure if this being killed off before release is good or bad.
That's an interesting concept.
