Creative Assembly and Sega today announced that a sequel to the beloved Alien: Isolation is in early development.
The Alien franchise has gone through its ups and downs over the years. 2024 has turned into quite a great year for the franchise thanks to the wildly successful Alien: Romulus film, but also today’s big announcement. Back in 2014, developer Creative Assembly and publisher Sega released Alien: Isolation. A survival horror game, Isolation puts players in the shoes of Amanda Ripley being stalked by a Xenomorph. The game managed to capture the feeling of Alien, including how scary it would be to be stalked by a Xenomorph. It reviewed well and seemingly sold well, but no sequel announcement was ever made.
Now, a decade later, a sequel to Alien: Isolation has finally been announced.
