During Summer Games Fest, SEGA and Creative Assembly finally showed a follow up game to the hit horror game.
The team has been somewhat hitting around the target with other titles in the series, but finally we return to the real horror that is Alien Isolation.
The new game sets up a new setting, story, and protagonist. However the team promises to provide the same level of tension the first game explored. This is what made the first Alien Isolation so good, the inability to truly fight back, while trying to make almost no sounds as you moved about.
The team notes they even made the Alien smarter, and the environment harsher:
Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly, said: “It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel. Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer.”
About the game:
The next chapter in the Alien: Isolation series, Alien: Isolation 2 will bring players face-to-face once more with cinema’s deadliest killer: Alien’s Xenomorph. With a brand-new setting, story and protagonist, players will embrace a whole new adventure, while experiencing the same deadly tension which established the original game as the ultimate survival-horror experience.
On a remote, storm-ravaged colony-world, players will endure the elements as they navigate the planet’s surface, and explore the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station. It’s a new hunting-ground for the Alien, forcing players to improvise and develop new tools, techniques and tactics to survive the deadly game of cat-and-mouse.
Check out the trailer:
The game is available to wishlist on Steam, Xbox, and PS5.
