Creative Assembly Announces ‘Alien: Isolation’ Sequel Early in Development!
Dreams do come true. And for fans of Alien: Isolation, the dream of a sequel is coming to fruition, thanks to Creative Assembly and Sega. Creative Assembly Creative Director Al Hope broke the news today that on the 10th anniversary of Alien: Isolation‘s release, the team is early in the process of developing a sequel!
“When we started developing Alien: Isolation, we had one guiding principle: to create a truly authentic experience that went back to the roots of the Alien franchise,” Hope wrote in a post to X announcing the sequel.
“It’s been nothing short of incredible to witness [the fans’] passion for the game over the years and see it reach so many players around the world. It was a dream project brough to life by a brilliant team, and the reception you have given it over the years is extraordinary.”
Hope went on to say that he has heard fans “distress calls” over the years for a sequel. “Today, I’m delight to confirm, on behalf of the team, that a sequel to Alien: Isolation is in early development. We look forward to sharing more details with you when we’re ready.”
If for whatever reason you haven’t checked out one of the best Alien video games ever, you can grab it on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store (with a hefty discount on Steam right now), PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.
Just in time for Steam Next Fest, Studio Laaya has pushed a new update for their upcoming psychological thriller, Foghorns Drown. In addition to some subtle graphical improvements, the new demo features more mechanics, more characters, and a longer story. You can also grab the demo on itch.io.
Foghorns Drown casts you as a ferryman, bringing passengers across a foggy lake to a town drenched in mystery and folklore. The old ferryman has disappeared, and a murder has been committed. Coincidentally, you recently experienced a dream where you wandered through the pines, and came upon the body of someone who was murdered. Who is the killer? Why did the old ferryman disappear? Solve the mystery, before it’s too late.
First and foremost, you must tend to your job. You’ll use physics-based interactions to open doors, drag objects, and operate the crank of the ferry to pull it along a rusty old chain. The foghorns have little patience, the ferry must move.
Along the way, the story progresses through environmental clues, dialogue with the townsfolk, and surreal visions. As you progress, the psychological toll begins to escalate as truth begins to blur, and the strange old tales begin to reveal themselves to you. Something in the water demands its toll.
Originally aiming for a June 30 release, the team has decided to push Foghorns Drown to July.
