Today’s Alien Day and surprisingly, that means we’ve gotten our first tease of Alien: Isolation 2.
Developer Creative Assembly put out a short video on Sunday morning dubbed “False Sense of Security.” It opens on a dark room with a light flashing red as the camera slowly pushes in on it. When the light hits green, the doors open to briefly reveal a rainy city, followed by a close-up of an Emergency phone, which were save stations in the first game. What city this is and how much danger the people are in are answers we’ll have to wait for. Even the video description is cryptic—it simply says “A feeling of being safer than one really is.”
It was nearly two years ago that Creative Assembly announced an Alien: Isolation sequel was in early development. The original game released in 2014 and put players in the shoes of Amanda Ripley, looking for her mother Ellen and getting tangled up in Xenomorph nonsense. Well-reviewed and a solid seller, it seemed like a one-and-done until 2024 when the studio announced the sequel. It also probably didn’t hurt that Fede Álvarez was a fan of the game and gave it a shoutout in Alien: Romulus.
We’ll have more on Alien: Isolation 2—or whatever it’s called—as news emerges.
