Expert Verified By

An Amazing Gift On 10th Anniversary!

Story Highlight
  • Alien Isolation is receiving a sequel more than a decade later.
  • This sequel is being made to address fan demand after the original game became a cult classic.
  • Creative Assembly will share more details in due time.

Alien Isolation often comes to mind when discussing the most influential horror games of all time. Despite its status as an underrated gem, there has been plenty of demand for more entries in the franchise ever since it debuted 10 years ago.

While all hope seemed lost, Sega has come up with a pleasant surprise. The gaming giant has officially confirmed a sequel to this beloved horror classic.

Why it matters: Horror games have gone through a resurgence in recent years. Between various remakes, including Resident Evil 4, Dead Space, and Silent Hill 2, and original titles like Alan Wake 2, the genre has never been better.

Taking to Twitter, Alien Isolation director Al Hope just shared the good news with millions of fans.

He confirmed that Creative Assembly has begun work on the sequel. Based on the message, this sequel seems to have resulted directly from fan demand for the franchise over the last decade.

Al Hope has yet to share much else, but he confirms that the team will reveal new details once they are ready. Though these details might take a while, there’s never been a better time to delve into the original Alien Isolation.

The game is widely available for dirt cheap today and frequently goes on sale. With the sequel in development, it only makes sense for newcomers and older fans to jump back into Creative Assembly’s terrifying recreation of the Alien series.

For the unaware, Alien Isolation saw a lukewarm commercial reception at release. The title sold just 2.11 million copies in the first six months, giving publisher Sega little reason to work on a sequel.

Still, Creative Assembly acknowledged fan demand for a sequel as far back as 2015. Unfortunately, Sega’s financial analysis of the situation put the team in a difficult position.

With a sequel now in development, fans around the globe are excited to see what’s next for the much-awaited sequel to Alien Isolation. Original director Al Hope is also returning for the new game, giving fans just one more reason to be excited.
