Alien: Isolation is a truly terrifying game, and we're going back into the world with a sequel that just got its first teaser trailer. The sequel was first confirmed back in October 2024, with this being the first time we've properly seen anything at all from it.
The teaser is brief, at a mere 25 seconds long and we barely see anything. That said, even this very short clip tells us plenty. For starters, we're no longer in space. We're clearly on a planet as the door opens to some rain. So, they're perhaps going with the whole Alien to Aliens type of thing here with the second game on some sort of colony. Would be interesting if that colony is Hadley’s Hope from Aliens but we'll have to wait and see.
Direct Link
There's no release date yet or any other info, so we'll just have to keep waiting on it.
One thing we can say though - it will be using Unreal Engine 5 as we found from a Creative Assembly job posting.
Are you as excited as I am for more info on this one? We also have the totally unrelated but clearly inspired by the series Alien Deathstorm coming from Rebellion who made Aliens vs Predator that's worth keeping an eye on.
And we're also waiting on Part 2 of Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition which is set in the same universe.

Started it thrice, stopped it thrice and never gonna play it again, because it totally stresses me out.
After playing it for two hours I need a week off to calm down 🙈
Thus, great game, just not for me. 😆
And I couldn't wait for the native Linux port for Alien: Isolation back then, I did what I wouldn't do today. I dualbooted to play this game. And I loved it. The unpredictable movement of the creature was something new. You think you knew how games work, they follow always the same pattern or so? Not this game. This was an experience on a different level. And I LOVED it. The low-fi design, matching the atmosphere of the movies, absolutely stunning.
Alien: Isolation was and is one of the best Alien games ever. And I hope part 2 will not fall short. Any sequel that is coming after such a masterpiece, having to deal with high expectations won't have it easy. Yet I'm very interested. And the trailer shows, we might be on a planet, probably a colonly like in Aliens. At least that's what the rain behind the save station suggests.
On the other hand, I yet have to play some Alien titles. I just started Alien: Rogue Incursion VR, thought I would continue or play the pancake version more (which I also didn't), I didn't even start Aliens: Dark Descent.
Instead I play Aliens vs. Predator (2010) and Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop (though it's not related to the Alien franchise) again and again 😁
Speaking of AvP, yep, I'm also looking forward to Alien Deathstorm!
