JANUARY 21ST, MILWAUKIE, OR–In conjunction with last week’s release of the all new Aliens Vs. Predator: Three World War comic, it was announced today that the upcoming video game from SEGA, will be released in a deluxe “Hunter Edition,” featuring the newly recolored zero issue of the original Dark Horse series. Originally released all the way back in 1990, this first six issue series built on the storyline established in the pages of Dark Horse Presents, and remains one of the most popular crossovers in the history of sequential storytelling.
Featuring a dynamic new cover by artist, Raymond Swanland, and all new colors by Wes Dzioba, this all-new “remastered” edition is a fantastic update to the classic story that started it all! In addition, this limited edition hardcover features the eight page “Blood Time” story, originally published in Dark Horse Presents, and featuring the same creative team.
“With Wes Dzioba’s amazing new colors on the very first AVP stories, and with original AVP writer Randy Stradley penning the current “Three World War” relaunch, the birth and rebirth of AVP now stand shoulder to shoulder” said Dark Horse Senior Editor, Chris Warner.
SEGA’s Alien Vs. Predator: Hunter Edition for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 hits stores on February 16th. The Hunter Edition features this brand new hardcover collection, early access to 4 PDLC multiplayer maps, a fully posable facehugger model, a Weyland Yutani sleeve badge and a 3D lenticular postcard.
