Alien Isolation 2 gets its first full trailer
The sequel to the 2014 horror game was first announced two years ago
Sega and Creative Assembly have revealed the first trailer for Alien Isolation 2.
The trailer, which was shown during the Summer Game Fest showcase today, reveals that the game will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2 and PC.
It doesn’t give a release window, however, meaning it’s not yet clear when it’ll be ready.
“On behalf of the whole survival team at Creative Assembly, we’re very excited to share our return to the survival horror genre,” creative director Al Hope said on stage.
“It’s been 12 years since we released the first Alien Isolation, and we’re continuing what we started, creating an authentic new chapter which builds on that core Isolation experience of escaping the terrifying, unkillable, relentless Alien.”
Sega previously released a short teaser trailer for Alien Isolation 2 back in April, suggesting more news was coming in the future.
The trailer, which was posted on the official YouTube channels for Sega, Alien Isolation and developer Creative Assembly, was titled False Sense of Security.
The mainly dark 25-second video showed a door unlocking to reveal a raining outdoors area, followed by a brief shot of an emergency phone booth, which served as save stations in the original game.
The original Alien Isolation was released back in October 2014, and to mark its tenth anniversary in 2024 Sega confirmed that a sequel is in development. Since then, however, there’s been no substantial further information on the sequel.
Originally released for PC and consoles before making its way to mobile in 2021, Alien Isolation was a first-person survival horror game inspired by 1979’s Alien movie and drew praise for its tense gameplay and immersive world.
Players took on the role of Weyland-Yutani employee Amanda Ripley, daughter of Alien movie protagonist Ellen. In a story set 15 years after Ridley Scott’s film, Amanda’s mission to uncover the truth about her mother’s disappearance leads her to a decommissioned trading station on the fringes of space where she’s forced into a game of cat and mouse with a Xenomorph.
