Story Highlight
  • According to a new report, Alien Isolation’s original developers are no longer at Creative Assembly.
  • Job listings also suggest that the sequel will emphasize diversity and inclusivity.
  • More information on the game is expected in the years to follow.

Following a long hiatus, Alien Isolation is set to make its grand return in the future. The franchise officially received confirmation of a sequel last month, with Creative Assembly confirming that more information would be shared in due time.

However, a new leak seems to be spilling the beans on the sequel’s production ahead of time. According to a leaker, Alien Isolation 2 will be handled by a completely different team.

Why it matters: Many consider the original game the pinnacle of survival horror. With a new team leading the sequel, it remains to be seen if the franchise will return to its former glory.

The latest information about Alien Isolation 2 comes from an insider on 4Chan. He states that around 10% of Creative Assembly’s developers who worked on the original survival horror title are still part of the team.

Among the major developers, the Lead AI Programmer who pioneered the iconic double AI system has departed, too. The leaker further elaborates that nearly everyone from the original programming team has left the studio.

Elsewhere, the leaker uses job listings to confirm the use of Unreal Engine 5 for Alien Isolation 2. Creative Assembly’s job listing also highlighted a similar focus on diversity and inclusion as other developers, suggesting that diversity will play a significant role in development.

The team could even turn to the controversial Sweet Baby Inc. for consultation as part of this effort. Another recent job listing on the developer’s website indicates a similar goal.
