December 21, 2020 Alien: Isolation is free on the Epic Games Store today - which has made us want a sequel even more than we already did...


If Creative Assembly is working on an Alien: Isolation 2 it's being as quiet as Newt in an air duct about it. We were hoping that a sequel would be announced not too long ago but our dreams were dashed with the announcement of Alien: Blackout. Sure, it followed Amanda Ripley in a new storyline but, sigh, only on mobile.


Still, that doesn't mean Alien: Isolation 2 is completely off the cards. Alien: Blackout was actually a good sign as it shows there's plenty of interest in creating more Alien games. Let's just hope it doesn't lead to another Colonial Marines.


Wouldn't it be great if Alien: Isolation 2 on PC was being made? The first game was highly praised and popular so there's precedent for such a sequel. Perhaps we'd get more of the same tight survival horror gameplay, with a xenomorph hunting you down around a space station - it worked once, at least. But there's also the chance to go in a slightly different direction so as to surprise us all, like a gherkin-headed monster springing from a vent.
