We're Finally Getting A Sequel To Alien: Isolation, 12 Years Later, And The First Teaser Is Here

!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2019/02/20/19f2108b/alienisolation.jpg.webp) Sega released Alien: Isolation(https://gameinformer.com/product/alien-isolation) nearly 12 years ago, in October of 2014, and to celebrate Aliens' 40th Anniversary yesterday, developer Creative Assembly released a teaser trailer for the sequel. Yes, a sequel is actually/finally happening more than a decade later, which is just enough time for Alien: Isolation, which received mixed reviews at launch, to reach cult-hit status amongst fans of Xenomorphs and retro-sci-fi tech. The video is titled "False Sense Of Security," and given its teaser nature, it doesn't reveal too much at all. We see a menu pad with a low-battery light, which turns on with a new battery, before a large hangar door opens, suggesting this sequel might take place on a planet (rather than on a single ship as in Alien: Isolation). That'd be a fitting change for the Xenomorph-stalker horror game, given the first one takes place on a ship (like the first Alien movie) – the sequel movie, Aliens, took Ripley onto an actual planet to open up the horror playground of the infamous Xenomorphs, so we'd love to see the Alien: Isolation sequel do the same. Check out the Alien: Isolation sequel teaser for yourself below: Though this teaser doesn't necessarily indicate it's for a sequel to Alien: Isolation, Disney Games sent along a press release to say that it is, in fact, for Creative Assembly's sequel to Alien: Isolation, putting any doubt to rest. Elsewhere, for Aliens'40th Anniversary, Disney Games highlights that developer Survios recently released Alien: Rogue Incursion(https://gameinformer.com/product/alien-rogue-incursion) – Part One Evolved Edition for Nintendo Switch 2, noting that a PlayStation 4 version will arrive soon. Plus, Behaviour Interactive announced the Bloodbound Pack for Dead by Daylight(https://youtu.be/bUcWR14AvM?si=OvpTP2tsrMp9ZcKZ), and it will feature Private First-Class William L. Hudson as an Ellen Ripley Skin alongside colonial marine gear when it goes live in-game tomorrow, on April 28. While waiting to learn more about this sequel, read Game Informer's Alien: Isolation review(https://gameinformer.com/games/alienisolation/b/playstation4/archive/2014/10/03/alien-isolation-review-game-informer.aspx), and then read this retrospective(https://gameinformer.com/retrospective/2025/06/24/how-creative-assembly-built-its-perfectly-evolved-ai-xenomorph) about how Creative Assembly built its perfectly evolved AI Xenomorph.

"He's fantastic in our version of Bond, and I genuinely think he should be a candidate for the main role that they're trying to find someone for," James told Radio Times Gaming(https://youtu.be/Z-CdkgZTNLU), as discovered and reported by GamesRadar(https://www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/james-bond-movies/007-first-light-actor-says-amazon-would-be-mad-not-to-consider-the-video-games-james-bond-star-for-the-upcoming-live-action-reboot/).

Directive 8020's Brief Demo Left Me Underwhelmed, Not Terrified

Ever since 2015's Until Dawn(https://www.gamespot.com/games/until-dawn-2015/), I've been a big fan of Supermassive Games. From wincing as Rami Malek meets a grizzly end at the hands of a buzzsaw in Until Dawn, to fleeing an undead monstrosity in Man of Medan years later, the Guildford-based team has always excelled in delivering thrilling, cinematic scares that I enjoy. It's why I came into my preview session with high hopes for the studio's fifth outing, Directive 8020(https://www.gamespot.com/games/directive-8020/). Yet after finally going hands-on with Supermassive's first foray into sci-fi, my bizarrely brief demo left me feeling more underwhelmed than terrified. Part of Supermassive's ongoing anthology series, The Dark Pictures, Directive 8020 sees the studio swapping teen slasher tales for eerie interstellar intrigue. A spaceship named the Cassiopeia is sent to survey a mysterious planet, Tau Ceti, as part of a routine resettlement mission, but a mysterious disaster occurs mid-orbit, causing the ship to violently crash on the planet's surface. Stranded and with no way to contact Earth, things only get worse as the crew quickly discovers they are not alone. As they encounter unsettling alien lifeforms that can mimic the appearance of their prey, the researchers find themselves stranded, not knowing who to trust. This is essentially Supermassive's homage to Alien and The Thing, with a sprinkle of Event Horizon for good measure. Loading into the game a couple of hours in--with details of the crash and their first encounter still kept tightly under wraps--I join the crew of the Cassiopeia after the mysterious crash has awoken them from hypersleep, but seemingly before true Kurt Russell-worthy paranoia has hit.

Assassin's Creed Hexe Loses Another Top Developer, Who Quit To Start Their Own Studio

One of the upcoming Assassin's Creed game, Assassin's Creed codename Hexe(https://www.gamespot.com/games/assassins-creed-codename-hexe/), will continue development without its game director. Benoit Richer announced that he left Ubisoft Montreal after nine years to co-found his own company. Richer is just the latest big name to leave Hexe, following creative director Clint Hocking's exit earlier this year(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/assassins-creed-game-that-apparently-lets-you-possess-a-cat-loses-creative-director-clint-hocking/1100-6538421/). Writing on LinkedIn(https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7453445714036109312/), Richer said, "This is the beginning of a new chapter." He will become game director at Servo Games(https://www.servogames.com/), an independent studio in Quebec that is focusing on single-player "atmospheric experiences with top-tier visuals, industry-defining character animation, and meticulously refined controls." The studio is building games using Unreal Engine 5 and targeting current-generation consoles and PC. Richer founded Servo Games alongside Alex Drouin, who started at Ubisoft Montreal when it opened its doors in 1997. He led the animation teams for Price of Persia: The Sands of Time and Assassin's Creed, and would later leave to start THQ's Montreal studio (which Ubisoft eventually acquired). The other co-founders at Servo include other former Ubisoft veterans Luc Tremblay and Dany Marcoux.

Fortnite Won't Remove D4vd Cosmetics After Murder Charge, But You Can Get A Refund

Epic Games has confirmed that refunds will be available for cosmetics related to D4vd, the singer-songwriter connected to Fortnite who is accused of killing 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ex-fortnite-player-and-rb-singer-d4vd-arrested-on-murder-charges/1100-6539472/). However, the cosmetics are not being removed entirely as many asked for. On social media, the Fortnite Status account said(https://x.com/FortniteStatus/status/2048408545557668149), "We hear the concerns," adding that an update coming April 28 will allow people who bought a D4vd cosmetic to get an immediate self-service refund. You don't have to wait, though, as players who request refunds now can get one, it's just that the immediate self-service refunds won't be available until April 28. Many online commenters are saying this doesn't go far enough and that Epic should remove the D4vd cosmetics entirely. This isn't the first serious issue with Fortnite cosmetics. Before this, Epic disabled and then modified a Peacemaker emote after fans pointed out the connections to Nazi imagery(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fornite-disables-john-cena-emote-after-major-peacemaker-s2-twist/1100-6535083/). Prior to that, Epic faced legal battles over its dance emotes(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fortnite-epic-games-is-in-court-after-paying-10k-f/1100-6472055/).
