XENOMORPH TIMELINE
Alien: Covenant x Audi lunar quattro is a short film released in 2017. Its story takes place around 2104, about 11 years after Prometheus (2093) and around the same time as Alien: Covenant (2104). In the Legacy Alien timeline, it comes after Aliens: Special (around 2100) and before She Won't Go Quietly (around 2104).
In this Audi advertisement, the Audi lunar quattro rover is part of the Alien: Covenant colonization mission. Besides providing exploration and research support, it also patrols the ship for unseen dangers. One night, an unidentified presence in the ship's Terraforming Bay prompts it to investigate what might be lurking in the dark.
The ad was released on YouTube on April 27, 2017, as part of the marketing for Alien: Covenant, and the lunar quattro rover briefly appears in the film. Its ending does not fit the film's story: a creature emerges behind Cole (Uli Latukefu) aboard the Covenant, while in the film Cole dies on the planet long before any creature gets loose on the ship.
