Fans will be able to experience the world around them and relive the very first memories of the Neomorph in an immersive environment.
Zachary Eller SVP marketing partnerships at Twentieth Century Fox said: "Our goal at Twentieth Century Fox is to create incredible cinematic experiences. Partnering with Regal, AMD and Alienware on touring the Alien In Utero VR experience allows us to make sure the cinematic experience starts even before the movie begins."
The traveling event will run in select Regal Cinemas from until June 4. The theatres will feature several Oculus Rift demo kiosks where viewers can immerse themselves in the powerful content before or after their movie. Each of the kiosks will be powered by Alienware Aurora PC's, which are designed for virtual reality.
