It was only in 2009 when Sega confirmed thatAliens: Crucible had been canceled.
The closest Aliens game that could be compared to Crucible according to Sawyer, is Aliens: Fireteam.
“I was happy to play Aliens: Fireteam Elite because the overall setup was similar, Sawyer said.
“Small team, third-person, with an emphasis on deployables and support actions.

Obsidian didn’t have directors at that time, just leads who were all considered peers.
The similarities ended there, but it was nice to see the idea could actually be fun in practice.
