Fria Ligan (Free League) got the Alien/Aliens/Alien³/Alien Resurrection/Prometheus license, and are doing an RPG.
The starter kit/cinematic adventure ran pretty well; I won't do a full review here, but if you search RPGGeek.com for Alien Cinematic Starter Kit, you should find my review there.
I've run it, the CSK works really well as a one-shot - hidden agendas, secret traitor, and all.

Woooot! That really sound interesting.
The fitting name for any 'Secret Traitor' archetype probably would be 'Carter J. Burke'
Is the focus more on action/combat or is there material for stories more focused on horror?
I have been very happy so far with Eclipse Phase for horror elements similar to the black goo stuff from Prometheus/Alien: Covenant.

I haven't looked... is this a board game like the Battlestar Galactica one? It sounds kind of similar.

Nope. It's a new full-up RPG, currently in preorder. I don't label things RPGs if they're not. I'm pretty AR about classifications.

Having run a bunch...
I can see my Tales from the Loop and Mutant Year Zero took off.
It's a solid system; a core conceit shared with the rest of the Year Zero Engine games, but tweaked for the setting.
Combats are always tense, often with a bit of humor due to failed panic checks. The dice pools are the right size for "at least one ⚅ to succeed" to be a good fit.
Also... Pretty. Very pretty.
