Record-Breaking Kickstarter for ALIEN RPG Evolved Edition Ends in Two Days

Thirteen Stretch Goals Unlocked, Two Remain

Only two days remain to be a part of ALIEN RPG history! Free League and 20th Century Studios’ Kickstarter for the Evolved Edition of ALIEN The Roleplaying Game will end on April 17, 2025, at 9 pm CEST / 3 pm EDT / 12 noon PDT. This campaign has shattered the record for Free League’s most-backed project of all time, already raising close to $2.0 million USD in three weeks.

Those who contribute can look forward to rewards ranging from additional miniatures to extra content, including the Tartarus Sector campaign setting, the Chrysalis bonus adventure, and locations and items from the new ALIEN: Romulus film. Thirteen stretch goals have already been unlocked and two more remain: a GM screen design based on the iconic MU/TH/UR interface from ALIEN, and an ALIEN-themed dice bag.

“Even after all these years, it’s been inspiring to still see so much passion from our community,” said Tomas Härenstam, ALIEN RPG lead designer and co-founder of Free League. “The Evolved Edition would’ve never been possible without their feedback and support, so this Kickstarter has been unforgettable for us, as it has truly felt like we’ve all made this game together.”

Redesigned as the perfect starting point for newcomers to roleplaying in the ALIEN universe, the new Evolved Edition of the Starter Set contains everything players need for game night, including abridged rules, character sheets, custom dice, larger miniature-friendly game maps, initiative cards, reference cards, various handouts, tokens, and an expanded Evolved edition of the fan-favorite Hope’s Last Day scenario set on Hadley’s Hope just prior to the unforgettable events of ALIENS.

The new cinematic adventure boxed set, Rapture Protocol, returns to the roots of the ALIEN franchise, featuring the crew of a small star freighter on a resupply run to the remote industrial colony, soon embroiled in a deadly conflict. A new Miniatures Set featuring 28mm scale, high-quality miniatures of soldiers, space truckers, Xenomorphs, and more is designed to bring the events of Rapture Protocol to life, but fully complements other adventures and skirmish battles throughout the ALIEN RPG series.
