A Xenomorph in Alien: Rogue Incursion. It's smiling, I think.

Alien: Rogue Incursion will make you jump out of your VR headset | preview

Alien: Rogue Incursion is coming on December 19 for the virtual reality headsets, and my preview of the game confirms that it’s going to make me jump out of my headset. That happened to me when an alien landed on my face.

Survios, a veteran VR studio that made the Creed boxing games and The Walking Dead: Onslaught, is making the original Alien game. Chief product officer TQ Jefferson showed me multiple scenes in a preview with the Meta Quest 3. The game (available for preorder) is also going to be available on the PlayStation VR2 and PCVR via Steam.
