Alien: Isolation 2 Devs Discuss New Protagonist, Planet Setting, and 1979 Film Roots

Creative Assembly told IGN at Lucca Comics and Games that Alien: Isolation 2 will have players control a new character, Blake, who works for the company and has not encountered the creature before, on a new planet. Creative director Al Hope said the sequel stays survival horror and aims to return players to the time and place where a single alien is terrifying. Art director Ana Sopikova said the team studied 20th Century's set archives to stay true to Ridley Scott's 1979 film, and a photo mode was confirmed.
