Alien Isolation was a masterclass in horror when it first launched, pitting players against a perfect organism hellbent on their destruction. With Alien Isolation 2 on the way, developer Creative Assembly is looking to place players in the ultimate cat-and-mouse game once again as they break free from the tight confines of the Sevastopol and navigate the planet of LV-921. While the game will feature cramped corridors to explore via the planetside Weyland-Yutani outpost, Kurosaki Station, they’ll also be able to venture outside into a wilderness where the Xenomorph will be just as deadly in hunting them down.
“What we’re doing with the sequel is effectively training it to be able to hunt in the exterior spaces really effectively,” creative director Al Hope said to GameSpot. “To be adapting again to the player, to every encounter, it’s learning from the experience. And yeah, now taking that knowledge to the exterior in order to give a new Alien experience you haven’t done yet.”
