Official PlayStation Magazine has a source claiming that Creative Assembly is readying up a new Alien title, which would likely mean a sequel or derivative to Alien: Isolation. This was one of those rare movie-based games that was not only fun to play but faithful to the film universe, so I am really looking forward to what the team cooks up for the follow-up. Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a VR mode? (I also wonder if the flamethrower will still be as effective.)
Released back at the tail end of 2014, Alien: Isolation was met with critical praise and did commendably well in sales (over 2.1 million units across the U.S. and Europe as of March 2015) – though publisher Sega wasn't completely satisfied with its commercial performance. That said, the idea of a sequel has been bandied about the past year-and-a-half with CA studio director Tim Heaton stating that a sequel was ''not out of the question'' and that ''there was more to be said.'' Sega has also expressed an interest but said that it's entirely dependent on its profitability.
