Bionic Buzz® covered San Diego Comic-Con 2025. There we got to experience the FX’s Alien: Earth “The Wreckage” activation. Guests were invited to explore the mysterious debris of the USCSS Maginot to unearth new details from the highly anticipated upcoming series from creator Noah Hawley, inspired by the acclaimed feature film franchise. The experience featured various interactive thrills and never-before-seen alien specimens.

One of the coolest experiences at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 was The Wreckage activation for Alien: Earth. The incredible set design and scare actors—fully committed and in character—made it feel like you were truly stepping into the Alien: Earth universe. I’ve covered a lot of activations over the years at SDCC, but I’ve never experienced anything quite like this.
