01/03/2017 05:17 pm EST

The Fox Innovation Lab will team with director Ridley Scott to create a virtual reality experience based on the upcoming film Alien: Covenant.

The Alien: Covenant VR experience will be made available across all major VR platforms. No release date was named, but the release will probably orbit Alien: Covenant's May theatrical release date.

The Fox Innovation Lab describes the Alien Covenant VR experience as, "a dread-inducing journey into the depths of the Alien universe.

"Viewers will discover the true meaning of terror as they navigate through horrifying alien environments and a story where every decision could mean the difference between life and death."

The Alien: Covenant VR experience is executive produced by Ridley Scott and directed by David Karlak.

This is the second major movie tie-in VR experience created by Fox Innovation Lab. It previously developed a VR Experience based on The Martian.

In Alien: Covenant, headed toward a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew members of the colony ship Covenant discover what they believe to be an uncharted paradise, but it is actually a dark, menacing world in which the only inhabitant is the synthetic David (Michael Fassbender), a survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.

Alien: Covenant is directed by Ridley Scott, and stars Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Carmen Ejogo, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Callie Hernandez, Nathaniel Dean, Alexander England and Benjamin Rigby.

Alien: Covenant opens in theaters May 19, 2017.
