On the whole, Rebellion Developments is pretty happy with the reaction to Aliens vs Predator. Despite some less than favorable reviews, the game became the fastest-selling title so far this year in the UK. This has prompted the studio to start thinking sequel.

“We wanted Aliens vs Predator to be a critical success as well as a commercial success, which we think we have achieved,” said company co-founder and CEO Jason Kingsley in an interview with Develop. “We’re also in discussions with Sega about ongoing support for AvP, and also about a sequel to the game.”

As for the “critical success” part, Kingsley said that critics’ reactions have been mostly positive. 

“We’ve had three totally shit reviews by some Americans, which is a bit odd,” he said. “Some of them were inexcusably bad. If you discount those poor reviews AvP is averaging high for us.”
