It’s official: Alien: Isolation will have a sequel, and it’s already in development

Alien: Isolation is one of the best horror games outside of the classics of the genre. Not just for meIncredible setting true to the original film.as well as for being canon to parts of the history of the franchise that bears its name. However, the game came out 10 years ago, and so much time has passed since its release that many feared that we would never see a sequel.

Now its developer, Creative Assembly, confirmed that the game will have a sequeland that the original game’s director will also be at the helm. It makes sense that Alien: Isolation’s story ends with the first game, at least the ones set in Sevastopol, but it leaves open the fate of its main character, Lieutenant Ripley’s daughter, in a final image that is already uncertain. demanded a continuation.

Samuels is tasked with bringing her back and invites Amanda to accompany him to clear the air about his mother’s “death”. And then chaos breaks out because of an unexpected guest.

And with the destruction of Sevastapol in the game’s lore, there is no way to confirm what happened there, that is, it strictly corresponds to the canon of the time interval between the Alien and the Aliens. Anyway, here’s the official confirmation:
