With the upcoming release of Alien Romulus, now is a good time as any to make an Alien Isolation sequel

Alien Isolation is one of the most beloved survival horror games ever. It is set in the popular Alien franchise and captivates players with its claustrophobic setting and creepy aliens. This series has always focused on sci-fi horror elements which have been present in the games, films, and various comics. While the fans of the movies are getting Alien Romulus, releasing on August 15, 2024, the gamers are still waiting for a sequel.

It has been 10 years since Alien Isolation first came out, and we believe it's time we start talking about the potential sequel of one of the greatest survival horror games ever made.

Alien Isolation: A legacy of fear

Alien Isolation was received positively worldwide by fans of the survival horror genre. It won various awards and managed to cement its legacy as one of the best horror games on the market. The players loved the atmospheric horror and the slow gameplay so much that they have been asking about the whereabouts of the sequel for years.

Even though it was quite successful, there have been no updates about a potential sequel. It is 2024 and the most recent Alien game we got was the Alien Fireteam Elite, a squad-based shooter focusing on action rather than horror. While it also had a positive reception, it never managed to reach Alien Isolation's level of success.

A new chapter in the Alien saga

With Alien Romulus releasing next month on August 15, the hype for the film might reignite the talks of a sequel to Alien Isolation. The movie promises to reinvigorate the franchise for the better with horrific encounters and action sequences. While it is going for a more action-oriented story, which is the opposite of the game, fans are still hopeful that it may reinvoke interest in the game's sequel.

What could a sequel of the game look like?

It has been 10 years since Alien Isolation was first released and technology has evolved a lot since. With games now aiming for 60 FPS on consoles and the implementation of ray tracing, we can expect the sequel to look quite advanced graphically. Furthermore, we can also expect the addition of 3D audio and support for Dualsense's adaptive triggers to enhance the experience.

With the sequel being exclusive to the current generation gaming platforms, the title can reach its full potential. In terms of story, we can expect a new protagonist with more emphasis on atmospheric horror to keep the players on their toes when the xenomorphs are looking for them. All in all, a sequel has the potential to become one of the best survival horror games ever.

Conclusion

While there is no confirmation or hint of a sequel to Alien Isolation, the fans of the game should never stop voicing their opinions. Maybe someday we can get the developers to hear our requests and bring back one of the greatest survival horror games ever for a round 2.
