From the FAQ on IMDB for Covenant

....In the beginning of 2015, when it was unclear whether the proposed sequel to Prometheus would be green-lit, writer/director Neill Blomkamp announced that he and actress Sigourney Weaver had been secretly working on an Alien sequel, with Ridley Scott producing. This film (working title Untitled Neill Blomkamp/Alien Project) is meant to be an alternative sequel to Aliens, which establishes a different timeline and basically ignores the events of Alien³ and Alien: Resurrection. After public approval, the film was green-lit shortly thereafter. However, at the end of 2015, it was announced that the studio had decided to develop Ridley Scott's Prometheus-sequel Alien: Covenant first. Blomkamp was asked to alter his screenplay as to not clash with Scott's story, and postpone his project indefinitely while Scott was working on Alien: Covenant and its intended sequel. Even though Blomkamp's project is still listed as under development, the film and Blomkamp's own involvement in it have become unsure. Sigourney Weaver is slated to appear in three Avatar sequels between 2018 and 2022, which could cause additional delays for the proposed Alien sequel. Blomkamp has indicated that he wants to pursue other projects in the meanwhile, and may no longer be available if it ever gets made.

It'll suck.
Not till someone makes a proper Alien3, will the Alien franchise be saved.
Which clearly involves Ripley, the original robot, Hicks and Newt visiting the Alien home
planet with a dsyfunctional Marine squadron, loads of models, little cgi and a Hudson replacement
who's 10X worse.

Well I got to see this film last night. For me it was well worth it and answers many questions and raises a few eyebrows. It even had a big laugh out loud moment. You also get to learn a lot more about the xenomorphs.

It is not meant to be a film full of suspense, well it wasn't for me, only jumped twice and I fucking hate that.

So in closing, certainly a step up from Promethus and I cannot wait for the next installment...

The trailer looks like theyve basically remade Alien.

watching that clip, only just realised the music is the same as the Promethius trailer.

I would imagine that was probably deliberate
