Alien: Isolation 2 trailer hints at the terror to come
A new trailer dropped for the long-awaited sequel to the 2014 video game classic Alien: Isolation.
While the trailer, premiered by developer Creative Assembly at Summer Game Fest in Los Angeles, offers more details than the sneak peek shown on Alien day (April 26, an homage to LV-26, the planetoid featured in the 1979 Alien film), it still doesn't reveal much.
As we predicted a few months ago, it looks like Alien: Isolation 2 will take place on a moon or planet (the game's predecessor was set on a mostly abandoned space station overrun by xenomorphs, facehuggers, and murderous androids). Japanese dialogue (with English subtitles) suggests more nefarious behavior from the Alien franchise's other villain: the Weyland-Yutani corporation.
"Your mistake. It was expensive," the voice says. "That's something the company rarely forgives. This is your last chance. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand," a voice says in English. That voice is ostensibly Amanda Ripley, the protagonist of the first game and daughter of the movie series' heroine, Ellen Ripley.
Update, June 6, 1 a.m. ET: A press release from Sega states Alien: Isolation 2 features a "brand-new setting, story and protagonist." It also reveals the game takes place on the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station, "a new hunting-ground for the Alien."
Shots of a crashed module are intercut with images of blood, a bifurcated Working Joe android, and the series' famous xenomorph monster. Reddit posters surmise that the module is actually the Analysis Laboratory module Amanda jettisoned from the space station, along with a xenomorph, in the first game.
Creative Assembly did not reveal a release date for Alien: Isolation 2. The game is being released by Sega and 20th Century Games and is available to wishlist on PC, Playstation, and Xbox. Nintendo Switch 2 wishlisting is not yet available.
