It’s somehow been 12 years since we first got the pants scared off us in the excellent survival horror adventure Alien: Isolation, but we’re finally getting another go-round with the powerful, unkillable xenomorph.
At Summer Game Fest, we got our first teaser for Alien: Isolation 2—and even though it doesn’t show us much, what it does show looks great.
We’re leaving the space stations behind, as the sequel is set on a planet this time, though that doesn’t mean we’re going to be completely free of the atmosphere and chills of the original game.
“This time we’re unleashing the alien on an unsuspecting colony world,” said Ana Sopikova, art director at Creative Assembly. “From the claustrophobic confines of the colony itself to the exposed and storm ravaged landscapes surrounding it, Kurosaki Station is a new hunting ground for the ultimate apex predator.
“Players will face a desperate struggle to survive and escape, and we cannot wait to show you more in the future.”
The teaser trailer instructs us to wishlist the game, though I haven’t seen it pop up in any storefronts yet—once it does, I’ll update this story with more information, like maybe a release date or window.
