Weyland-Yutani Archives

The Weyland-Yutani Archives are a bonus feature exclusive to the Blu-ray home video releases of Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. Presented in the form of a classified Weyland-Yutani report, the archives provide a wide range of background information on the Xenomorphs and Yautja, including their biology, society and, in the case of the latter, technology.

Overview[]

The archives are a database of text articles presented in the form of a technical report prepared by Weyland-Yutani personnel following experimentation and study conducted by the company's scientists (complete with an introductory warning against unauthorized copying or dissemination of the information found within).

The articles cover a range of subjects related to the Xenomorph and Yautja creatures, focusing in particular on the complex biology of the former and the advanced weaponry and technology of the latter. The majority of the information is based on what is shown in the films of the Alien, Predator and Alien vs. Predator franchises, although some entries, particularly those examining the Yautja, are based on information from the expanded universe comic books and novels from Dark Horse Comics and Bantam Books, respectively. Other articles are more theoretical and expansive in nature. Several of the entries are accompanied by 3D digital renderings and/or clips from the then-extant films of the franchise that provide visual examples of the subject matter being covered.
