Here’s the word from Creative Assembly:
To our fans around the world:
It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since we started our journey with the release of Alien: isolation.
When we started developing Alien: isolationwe had one guiding principle: to create a truly authentic experience that went back to the roots of the Alien franchise – a new story that captured the atmosphere and terror of the original 1979 film masterpiece.
It has 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 against cinema’s greatest killer have been very 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 deepest gratitude. It was a dream project brought to life by a brilliant team, and the reception you have given it over the years has been extraordinary.
On the 10th anniversary, it seems only fitting to let you know that we heard your emergency calls loud and clear. Today I am happy to confirm on behalf of the team that there will be a sequel Alien: isolation is in early development. We look forward to sharing more details with you when we are ready.
Thanks again.
Until next time,
Al Hope, Creative Director – Alien: isolation
