GameSpot is reporting that the Aliens RPG in development at Obsidian Entertainment has been put on hold indefinitely. This is hot on the heels of a new Aliens game announcement from SEGA that will release prior to Gearbox's Aliens: Colonial Marines which was originally scheduled for a Q1 2009 release.
When GameSpot contacted SEGA for comment (our calls went unanswered) the publisher had this to say: "We will have more news to share about our Aliens franchise games in the near future," said the representative. "Sega does not comment on rumors or speculation about its products... Please stay tuned for future correspondence regarding our products."
