Alien Isolation’s Long-Awaited Sequel Unleashes Terrifying New Fears

The Return of Alien: Isolation – A Belated Sequel Confirmed

It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since we embarked on a journey with the release of Alien: Isolation, a game that truly captured the essence of the Alien franchise. With the sci-fi horror masterwork celebrating its 10th anniversary, creative director Al Hope has announced that the long-awaited sequel is finally in the works.

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. 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.

A Return to Form

Creative Assembly did an incredible job with Alien: Isolation. We praised it as "the game the Alien series has always deserved" in our 93% review, highlighting its deep stealth gameplay and evocatively realized sci-fi world.

Sales and Development Costs

Although the game didn’t sell as well as expected, with only 21 million copies sold, the enduring strength of the original suggests that a sequel could thrive. In an unfortunate twist of timing, just hours before the announcement, an editorial piece on our site questioned whether the game’s sales and high development costs would make it a one-off.

What’s Next?

The Alien: Isolation sequel is currently in early development, with no details on when it will arrive. Al Hope’s message was quickly shared by Creative Assembly, ensuring that fans have been left in no doubt – a sequel is indeed coming.
