Games News: Alien Isolation 2 Announcement Celebrates 10 Years of Horror

Exciting Games News About Alien Isolation 2

In space no one can hear you age - A sequel to Alien Isolation has been announced ten years after the original, with the same director returning.

For quite some time, a sequel to Alien Isolation felt like a mere fantasy, but developer Creative Assembly, under Sega's wing, is turning it into reality. In a joyous Twitter post commemorating the original game’s tenth anniversary, Alien Isolation creative lead Al Hope expressed gratitude to fans worldwide and revealed that a sequel is in early development.

“On the 10th anniversary, we have heard your distress calls loud and clear,” the post declared.

What to Expect From Alien Isolation 2

When will Alien Isolation 2 grace players with its presence? Early development hints it may take at least five years before the game is ready, likely putting it on next-generation consoles.

Set 15 years after Ridley Scott’s 1979 masterpiece, Alien Isolation showcased Amanda Ripley’s harrowing journey as she sought her mother’s whereabouts aboard the Sevastopol space station. While the game was superb in terms of scares, atmosphere, and presentation, it did face criticism for its length compared to its insubstantial storyline.

Will Alien Isolation 2 continue the story of Amanda Ripley?

Given that the original ended on a cliffhanger, it’s anticipated that this new chapter will continue Amanda’s tale in some form. Over the years, various Alien games have emerged, including Aliens: Fireteam Elite and Aliens: Dark Descent. However, none were published by Sega, once believed to have lost the game license.

The unexpected success of Alien: Romulus may have inspired both Disney (the franchise's current owner) and Sega to strike a new deal.

Prepare for the tracker’s terror once again!
