Commodore Revives Alien Breed Series for 35th Anniversary Collection

The Alien Breed 35th Anniversary Collection arrives on September 24 for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, with a Nintendo Switch release scheduled for later this year. The bundle includes the original 1991 debut, the Special Edition, The Horror Continues, Tower Assault, and both 3D iterations. These titles, which helped cement Team17’s reputation for inventive design, have been updated with contemporary features such as dual-stick controls, save states, and rumble support. Peer-to-peer online co-op is also included for supported titles, alongside a digital archive featuring early design documents and developer interviews.

Commodore partnered with Antstream Arcade to preserve the integrity of these releases. While the collection utilizes Antstream’s expertise in retro game curation, the games function independently and do not require an internet connection to play. Peri Fractic, CEO of Commodore, noted that the project serves as a bridge between the company’s history and its new publishing strategy. By pairing faithful emulation with modern quality-of-life improvements, the collection aims to introduce the legacy of the Commodore Amiga era to a new audience while offering a polished experience for those returning to the series.
