Set after the events of Alien: Romulus, the film takes place on a distant moon called Noctis Prime, where a mysterious corporation known as ExoNova has been conducting secret genetic experiments on captured Xenomorphs. Their goal: harness the creatures' adaptability and resilience to create a perfect biological weapon. The Xenomorphs are being manipulated, not just through traditional cloning methods, but by using alien DNA found deep beneath the moon’s surface. This leads to the creation of a terrifying new hybrid species known as "Eclipsers," creatures that can manipulate darkness itself, blending with shadows and emerging only to strike.
