After making some massive waves at the box office, becoming the second-biggest theatrical hit in the Alien franchise, Alien: Romulus is preparing its journey home. On Thursday morning, Disney and 20th Century Studios announced the on-demand and physical home release dates for Alien: Romulus, along with the details about the special features that will accompany those releases.

Romulus will first be released on video on-demand platforms in just a couple of weeks. The film will hit digital retailers like Apple TV, Prime Video, and Fandango at Home on October 15th. Those holding out for a physical release will need to wait a bit longer, as Alien: Romulus is coming to 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on December 3rd. Pre-orders for both the digital and physical releases will be available here on Amazon. 

In addition to the standard version of all three of those formats, the Romulus 4K Blu-ray will also be available as a limited edition steelbook. Those steelbook editions usually run a little higher than the standard 4K releases, but they tend to look a lot prettier on a shelf.
