In late 2023, The Behemoth released Alien Hominid Invasion, their long-awaited follow-up to Alien Hominid HD.

Alien Hominid Invasion, the Behemoth's long-awaited follow-up to Alien Hominid HD, is a highly cooperative run and gun shooter. Up to four co-op players can team up and complete short, wacky levels as they strive to level up and unlock new gear. Naturally, a game with such a big focus on multiplayer runs needs new content to keep it fresh. That's just what the "Juicy Variety Update," which first arrived on Steam and has now landed on consoles, does. The update offers an invasion of new environments, new objectives, and new enemies to keep things exciting.

The Behemoth is an American developer that created one of the best cooperative beat 'em ups of all time: Castle Crashers. After releasing Pit People way back in 2018, the studio has been relatively silent - until now. Alien Hominid Invasion recently launched on consoles and PC, and it's an exciting co-op follow-up to another Behemoth favorite, the run-and-gun shooter, Alien Hominid. This one features online co-op, something the original game never had.
