Alien: Isolation is a 2014 survival horror game developed by Creative Assembly and published by Sega. It is based on the Alien 1979 film and resembles its retro-futuristic atmosphere perfectly. As Amanda Ripley, daughter of iconic heroine Ellen Ripley, you investigate the disappearance of her mother aboard the space station Sevastopol which has descended into chaos following the release of a dangerous alien creature. 

Alien: Isolation received positive reviews and sold over two million copies by May 2015. It is considered to be one of the best video games ever made. The game won several year-end awards, including Best Audio at the 2015 Game Developers Choice Awards and Audio Achievement at the 11th British Academy Games Awards.

For now, there are no more details about the upcoming sequence. However, the creators promised to share more details “when we’re ready.”

After a decade, fans of the iconic survival horror game Alien: Isolation are once again eager to immerse themselves in its 1970s-inspired terror and dark atmosphere.
