Alien: Isolation is finally getting a sequel

With the 10th anniversary of the sci-fi horror masterwork Alien: Isolation upon us, creative director Al Hope has announced that the sequel fans have been pining for is finally going to happen.

“When we started developing Alien: Isolation, we had one guiding principle: To create a truly authentic experience that went back to the roots of the Alien franchise—a new story capturing the atmosphere and terror of the original 1979 movie masterpiece,” Hope wrote. 

“It’s been nothing short of incredible to witness your passion for the game over the years and see it reach so many players around the world. Your boundless enthusiasm, excitement, screams (!) and steely courage in the face of cinema’s greatest killer, have been profoundly rewarding.”

Creative Assembly did indeed nail it with Alien: Isolation. We called it “the game the Alien series has always deserved” in our 93% review, “A deep, fun stealth game set in an evocatively realised sci-fi world.”
