The Yautja are one of the fiercest hunters in the known galaxy. Highly intelligent, dangerously cunning, incredibly strong and possessing extreme endurance, their thirst for the Glory of the hunt can never be sated. Play as the fearless race. Develop new technologies. Weapons with unique abilities. Equipment useable only by the Hunters. Hunt targets, mark yourself for Honor.
Play as human and pray that the Yautja do not take interest in your colony.
The Xenomorphs join the RimWorld as a new threat to your colony. Experience the full life cycle of the Xenomorphs. Learn to fear their infestation. Be wary of those spaceship parts that fall, you never know what they may contain.
Xenomorphs are NOT currently playable. While this is a planned feature, it won’t be available for quite some time, as it requires Major reworking of how the game plays for it to make sense and we want to do it right, so that its not just another alien race skin. This is no simple task and no ETA can be given.
