I was wondering if anyone had heard of any plans to make a MMO based on the Aliens universe? There are many single player games and apparently even multiplayer FPS games in the franchise, but no MMO. With such a potent franchise, surely it must have been considered by someone already? A dark world with the most famous critters in movie history, terraformed planets with struggling colonies, tons of material, and existing code - how can anyone pass on that? The environment would be better suited for a MMO than Star Wars / Star Trek, and is almost as well-known (although the movies don't really focus on life in the colonies, but the books do).

Although not technically an 'Aliens' FPS,Natural Selection does has a level where the infamous 'self-destruct' system from the original Alien movie is found,and they have taken some influence from the Aliens movies. (apparently)
I think any Aliens MMO would be more suited for a MMORTS environment to be honest,rather than a RPG style.
