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.
While not quite Snakes on a Plane or Red Eye, co-developers Liquid Static Studio and Snapping Turtle have something darker in mind with their upcoming job-sim horror game, Night Plane. Coming to Steam later this year, the game has you doing the expected work as a flight attendant, but with the added bonus of trying to find demons hiding amongst the passengers.
It’s 1999, and it’s your first day on the job. You must do the usual things as a flight attendant: welcoming passengers aboard, check tickets, and attend to their needs. However, shape-shifting entities may attempt to come aboard disguised as humans. So, your additional job in Night Plane is to question passengers, and find a way to remove any unauthorized non-human visitors from the plane.
That also leads to assisting passengers in unorthodox ways inside the plane, outside the plane, and in places not listed in your training manual. To make things even more complicated, you’ll need to make tough decisions with irreversible consequences. Naturally, the company will not be held accountable for any mistakes you make. You live with them.
Oh, and seeing as this is a plane, you may encounter some turbulence while in flight, along with power failures, lightning strikes and more. All of which, including your decisions, will lead to one of the multiple endings in Night Plane.
If you wish to get in on the fun prior to the game’s release, you can sign up for the playtest via the Steam page.
