Sega has revealed that a sequel for 2014’s Alien: Isolation is in the works at Creative Assembly, the developer behind the original.
The announcement was made to coincide with the 10th anniversary of Alien: Isolation’s release, which originally came to consoles and PC before being porting to mobile devices a few years ago. The sequel is still in “early development” according to Al Hope, who’s returning to direct after helming the first game.
“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,” Hope said in the official statement.
The original game, which takes place fifteen years after Alien during an interesting time within the franchise’s canon, places you in the shoes of Amanda Ripley, Ellen’s daughter, as she sets out on a horrifying mission to unearth the truth surrounding her mother’s disappearance.
The rousing success of Alien: Romulus, which enjoyed a near $350 million cume at the box office against an $80 million budget, felt like a bit of a shot in the arm for the franchise, and news of an Alien: Isolation follow-up is guaranteed to delight fans.
