Alien: Isolation released 10 years ago from Creative Assembly. Now, as Creative Assembly and creative director Al Hope reflects on the decade-old game, it has been confirmed that Alien: Isolation 2 is in development.
“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 – a new story capturing the atmosphere and terror of the original 1979 movie masterpiece,” Hope said in a post on social media.
“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.”
He then dropped the bombshell that fans of the game have been eagerly awaiting.
“On the 10th anniversary, it seems only fitting to let you know that we have heard your distress calls loud and clear,” he said. “Today, I’m delighted to confirm, on behalf of the team, that a sequel to Alien: Isolation is in early development.”
Whether the game is called Alien: Isolation 2 or something else remains to be seen. It’s also unknown when more information on the sequel will be announced. All that was said is that details will come from the studio when they’re ready. Either way, it’s news certain to make fans of the game excited.

To our fans around the world:
It’s hard to believe that it has been 10 years since we embarked on our journey with the release of Alien: Isolation.
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 – a new story capturing the atmosphere and terror of the original 1979 movie masterpiece.
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.
Whether you’re a nightmare mode veteran or stepping into Amanda Ripley’s shoes for that thrilling first attempt (good luck!), we wanted to express our deep gratitude. It was a dream project brought to life by a brilliant team, and the reception you have given it over the years is extraordinary.
On the 10th anniversary, it seems only fitting to let you know that we have heard your distress calls loud and clear.
Today, I’m delighted to confirm, on behalf of the team, that a sequel to Alien: Isolation is in early development.
We look forward to sharing more details with you when we’re ready.Once again, thank you.
