From the voiceover of the movie we can find some small clues referring to a mysterious spaceship whose style seems to be linked to the late 80s. More precisely, and not surprisingly, per year 1986, when it marked the theatrical debut of Aliens: Final Showdown, film directed by James Cameron. The Alien horror series began way back 1979, directed by Ridley Scott. Ellen Ripley she is the protagonist of the series not only in films but also in comics, dedicated video games and novels. The character, created by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett, is played on screen by Sigourney Weaver (Avatar). The Xenomorph, the antagonist in Alien, is part of a fictional alien species and has also appeared in the film Alien vs. Predator.

Before letting you enjoy the tweet at the bottom, containing the image dedicated to the Ripley and Alien skins, we remind you that in these hours Epic Games is giving away 1.000 V-Bucks to longtime Fornite players. Furthermore, for some hours we have known that a lawsuit which involves Epic Game and Apple has been stopped. For about a week, the rumors about a new crossover coming to the battle royale have become insistent, this time concerning a possible collaboration with the legendary Street Fighter fighting game by Capcom.
