Alien: Isolation 2 at Summer Game Fest

During Friday's Summer Game Fest 2026 from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a reveal trailer.



Read the official synopsis:

"The next chapter in the Alien: Isolation series, Alien: Isolation 2 will bring players face-to-face once more with cinema’s deadliest killer: Alien’s Xenomorph. With a brand-new setting, story and protagonist, players will embrace a whole new adventure, while experiencing the same deadly tension which established the original game as the ultimate survival-horror experience.

On a remote, storm-ravaged colony-world, players will endure the elements as they navigate the planet’s surface, and explore the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station. It’s a new hunting-ground for the Alien, forcing players to improvise and develop new tools, techniques and tactics to survive the deadly game of cat-and-mouse."

The upcoming sequel to Alien: Isolation from Sega and Creative Assembly has piqued fans' (myself included) interest. Alien: Isolation was a masterclass in tension - who didn't hide in lockers until the alien's artificial intelligence (AI) adapted to search them? - and the space station setting clearly influenced Alien: Romulus. This time, Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen Ripley, is on a planet that evokes the flora and fauna of Predator: Badlands.

Whilst there's no release date, Alien: Isolation 2 will be available on PlayStation 5 (PS5), XBOX Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC.
