It’s not too late to join in on the screaming good fun. In honor of ALIEN Day 2025 tomorrow, April 26, Free League and 20th Century Studios’ Evolved Edition of ALIEN The Roleplaying Game is now open for late pledges through Pledge Manager. The Kickstarter, which ended on April 17, shattered the record for Free League’s most-backed project of all time and raised over $2 million USD.
Late backers have access to all Kickstarter exclusives (except the early pledge bonus) including the Collector’s Edition of the Evolved Edition Core Rulebook and the crew lapel pins in the style used on the USCSS Nostromo in the original ALIEN film.

ALIEN The Roleplaying Game Evolved Edition expands upon the original beloved TTRPG experience and provides an updated and revised version that will feel both modern and fresh for rookie and veteran players. The Evolved core rules include new artwork, new content, and a variety of new tools for players and Game Mothers alike, all fully compatible with previous releases and game material.
