This year’s Summer Game Fest had something for everyone. Do you like cozier games? How about tactical? Are you more of a horror vibe? All was on display yesterday! If you missed it, be sure to check out GSC’s full announcement piece here. But speaking of the horror genre, we did get a new peak at an upcoming title that…I will write about, but never play (because I’m a scaredy cat). That game – Alien: Isolation 2.
In this pre-alpha footage trailer, we’re shown a bleak landscape and a voice-over in Japanese, discussing the needs of the company to complete the mission at hand. What mission? Fixing a mistake that we apparently made (according to the trailer). I think it’s fair to assume that Weyland-Yutani wants their due recompense. What follows afterwards is increasingly more frantic music and snippets of violence, blood, and the scaly one themself – the Xenomorph.
Obviously, it’s a reveal trailer – we’re not getting much outside of the minimum of level-setting of the world and what the game might entail from a story standpoint. And screaming. Lots of screaming.
More on Alien: Isolation 2
Alien: Isolation 2 is coming to us from Creative Assembly, the brains behind the original Alien: Isolation, with SEGA at the publishing helm of this new title. The game’s Steam page actually does shed some additional light on what to expect from this upcoming title.
“When a survey team on a remote colony-planet discovers a mysterious crashed vessel, one member makes it her priority to investigate. No one is prepared for the horror unwittingly unleashed on the settlement. Nowhere is safe. So begins a desperate journey to survive and escape, as she is relentlessly hunted by the deadly creature.”
Yeah – nothing good ever comes from checking a mysterious crashed vessel. Ever.
As of today, Alien: Isolation 2 does not have a tentative release time frame. Hopefully within the coming months, we’ll get some more news around the trajectory of this new title.
