[UPDATE - April 27, 2026] SEGA and Creative Assembly have now posted the first teaser trailer for Alien: Isolation 2. It was also discovered that the game will use Unreal Engine 5 instead of the Cathode Engine from the previous installment.
[ORIGINAL STORY] An Alien: Isolation sequel is currently in early development, the original game's Creative Director confirmed today.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of one of the best games inspired by the long-running franchise, Alien: Isolation Creative Director Al Hope shared a new message on social media, talking about Creative Assembly's desire to create a new story that would capture the atmosphere and terror of the original 1979 movie while thanking players for their continued support since the game's release back in 2014. At the end of the message, which can be read in full below, Hope confirmed that a sequel is in early development and that more information on this game will be revealed when the team is ready to talk more about it.
Following its original release in 2014, Alien: Isolation was ported first to Nintendo Switch in 2019 and to mobile devices in 2021. Despite the technical limitations of the Nintendo console, the port turned out great, giving more players the chance to experience one of the best games based on the franchise ever made, as we highlighted in our review.
Alien Isolation is an essential horror game, and the Nintendo Switch version might even be the very best place to play it, as long as you can ignore the caveats mentioned above. With excellent picture and audio quality, thick atmosphere, and a beautiful aesthetic, it is one of the most interesting licensed games ever released, and a great stealth horror title to enjoy.
