We announced last month that a remake of the popular 2000’s franchise Alien Hominid is coming to the Nintendo Switch soon, and we now have official confirmation that ‘soon’ is November 1st!

For those of you wracking your brain, trying to remember where you’ve heard the name ‘Alien Hominid’, here’s our brief recap we did last month about the return of the aliens:

Alien Hominid is a run and gun title that originally started life as a Flash game on then popular website Newgrounds in 2002.

Anyone old enough to fondly remember the early 2000’s is likely to recall some iteration of this title, whether it was the aforementioned browser version, the later PS2 and Gamecube ports, the GBA reimagining, or most-likely, the popular re-release a few years later for Xbox Live Arcade in 2007.

Not only will we see the HD remaster, but a brand new entry will arrive on the same day, Alien Hominid Invasion.

You can buy both at a discounted price, or buy them individually.

Scroll down for the Release Date Trailer and full description from the publisher:

Alien Hominid Invasion is a co-op run ‘n’ gun packed with chaos, mayhem, and a whole lot of explosions. Unlock and equip an arsenal of weapons and boosts, level up, then beam down to invade Earth with up to three other friends. Abduct intel from your enemies to sabotage their plans, observe the oddities of human life, blow up bosses, and mutate into a variety of powerful Alien forms in order to take down the not-so-secret Agents that are dead set on ruining your day.
