Creative Assembly’s sequel to Alien: Isolation received its first proper teaser today, and while details are sparse, it’s at least a sign that development is progressing. Thankfully, that’s not the only one, as the studio posted listings seeking a Senior Development Manager and Game Design Director.

They also provided new details on the sci-fi survival horror, namely that it’s developed on Unreal Engine 5 (its predecessor used the studio’s own engine). Then there’s the Game Design Director listing, with one of the day-to-day responsibilities stated to be defining and delivering “a long-term roadmap” and “scoping an ambitious multi-year release plan for the project.”

It seemingly indicates that Creative Assembly is planning to ramp up development, which is a good sign. However, the “multi-year” part potentially means it could be a while before we see it released. Which wouldn’t be the biggest surprise – the project entered “early development” last year, and we’ve yet to see any gameplay, much less learn its official title.

Good things come to those who wait, of course. With the amount of time it’s taken for a sequel to Alien: Isolation to even get greenlit, one can only hope that it’s worth it. Stay tuned for more details, and in the meantime, check out our review of the original, where we praised its recreation of the setting, the Xenomorph’s AI, and much more.

While the Final Fantasy 14 Fan Fest undoubtedly had its share of news over the weekend, today is Alien Day, celebrating the 47th anniversary of the first film’s release. Obviously, this meant a lot of TV and film announcements, but Sega and Creative Assembly took the opportunity to release the first teaser for the sequel to Alien: Isolation.

Titled “False Sense of Security,” it opens with the camera slowly zooming in on a door in the dark, which subsequently opens into a rainy night. A phone with “Emergency” on it is beeping before cutting to black. Before the first transition, however, it’s worth noting that the building complex seemed torn up.

Perhaps the result of something cutting loose and causing havoc? Mayhaps a Xenomorph or three? While it doesn’t have an official name, release date, platforms, gameplay, etc, Creative Assembly clearly has a vision for the sequel. All that remains is to see where it goes.

If you haven’t played the original, Alien: Isolation launched in 2014 for consoles and PC to fairly strong praise. Set 15 years after the first film, it starred Amanda Ripley, who ventures aboard the Sevastopol to search for her mother, Ellen. Naturally, things take a turn for the worse, as she must evade a seemingly invincible Xenomorph to survive.

Given the vast range of mods Capcom games typically lend themselves to, it's downright refreshing to see the first half-decent tweaks for sci-fi action game Pragmata stay squarely away from everyone's favorite android daughter. While there are a couple of mods aimed at mixing and matching elements of Diana's many different skins (like having android-style limbs of her Shadow Executor skin while keeping her adorable default fit), it's her guardian getting a glow-up. And in the most sensible way, too.

On Saturday, April 25, a shooter opened fire outside the ballroom in which the White House Correspondents' Dinner was taking place. A suspect in the shooting was quickly detained and identified as Cole Allen of Torrance, California, per NBC News. Information about Allen's work history subsequently circulated, revealing that he was an indie game developer.
