Time once again to quote Brian Glover, as this is Rumour Control. Fans of Creative Assembly’s Alien: Isolation (which pretty much includes everyone) have been longing for a follow-up, and not only does this rumour concern a sequel, there’s also rumoured to be another title in the works.
According to Insider Gaming, an anonymous source has revealed to them that a new AAA game involving the Alien license is currently in development, with a planned Holiday 2023 release window. Details on just who is developing the game weren’t revealed. However, the game is being developed under the codename “Marathon”, and will be a current-gen only game with a AAA budget behind it. The game will also be in the Survival Horror vein, taking inspiration from franchises like Dead Space and Resident Evil.
The same source also revealed that a sequel to Alien: Isolation is either in development or being pitched. Once again, the developer behind the project wasn’t given. So like the first game, put this one in the rumour column.
Obviously, take this news with your usual helping of salt when it comes to rumours like these. That being said, with The Game Awards coming up fast, that would be a perfect opportunity to drop some form of tease regarding either project. After all, Focus Entertainment’s Aliens: Dark Descent was revealed during Summer Game Fest this past June. We’ll find out one way or another.
And if for whatever reason you haven’t played Alien: Isolation, you can grab it now on Steam for a cool 80% discount until November 29.
