Creative Assembly Teases ‘Alien: Isolation’ Sequel Reveal? [Teaser]
Since it’s Alien Day, what better day for Creative Assembly to start the ball rolling for the sequel to Alien: Isolation? The developer had announced two years ago that they were in early development of the follow-up to the 2014 hit, and now they’ve got something to show to the fans.
On the official Alien: Isolation X account and posted to YouTube, the devs posted a teaser entitled “False Sense of Security” that shows doors opening to a colony reminiscent of LV-426, complete with rain. It’s only about 5 seconds before it snaps to black, the Creative Assembly logo appears, and ends on a shot of an “EMERGENCY” sign.
Obviously, not a whole lot to go off of in the 25 second clip, but it’s safe to assume that this is teasing the Alien: Isolation sequel.
Back when they first announced work on the Alien: Isolation sequel, Creative Assembly Creative Director Al Hope stated that the team was overwhelmed with fan enthusiasm for the game. “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 brought to life by a brilliant team, and the reception you have given it over the years is extraordinary.”
And if for whatever reason you haven’t played Alien: Isolation, you can grab it today, along with many other Alien titles, with a generous discount on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.
Developed by Eduardo Scarpato and published by Black Lantern Collective, the strange mix of CloverPit with Tetris in Don’t Let It Starve, the “horror roguelite bento-builder from hell” is out now on Steam, complete with a limited-time 15% launch discount. For the “try before you buy” crowd, there’s also the demo that’s available on Steam.
In Don’t Let It Starve, you’re being held captive by a half-chef monster living in the vents. The only way out is to build bento boxes to satiate him, while amassing items and modifiers along the way to try and meet your captor’s appetite for fine dining. Flip, rotate, and place differently-shaped foods to create combos. You’ll receive bonuses for combining complementary ingredients, and fill every slot on your plate to dish out the highest-scoring, most satisfying meals. If you manage to survive the round, you’ll earn coins to purchase new items that build up multipliers, manipulate your luck, and create powerful synergies.
Each run forces you to adapt: new items, new challenges, and new ways to play the odds. The chef promises the key to an escape hatch if you can satiate its unending hunger, but getting there won’t be easy; you’ll have to master every tool at your disposal if you mean to survive. If you prove unworthy, well, you can guess what happens next.
Live or die, the nightmare doesn’t end there. Unlock new tools, challenges, and modifiers as you play that provide entirely new approaches and scenarios. Four difficulty modes layer on top of each other to introduce strange new bento shapes, raised score quotas, a ticking clock, and more.
