As a long-time fanatic of the Alien franchise who has spent countless hours immersed in its terrifying universe, I can confidently say that the recent announcements have left me absolutely ecstatic! The upcoming movie, Alien: Romulus, and the confirmation of a sequel to Alien: Isolation have sent my heart racing with anticipation.
With the highly anticipated release of “Alien: Romulus” hitting theaters in 2024, it’s an exciting time for fans of the “Alien” movie universe. The success of Fede Álvarez’s mid-quel has fueled the excitement of Xenomorph enthusiasts everywhere, and with Noah Hawley’s FX series set to premiere in 2025, it appears that the terrifying realm of these lethal creatures is expanding rapidly.
With my affection for Romulus already high, I’m thoroughly excited about the upcoming addition to the franchise that’s been announced. For those of you who have experienced ‘Alien: Isolation’, get ready to be amazed too, as a follow-up to the 2014 video game is now being developed!
The creative director Al Hope shared this news through the game’s official social media platform (previously known as Twitter), using the following statement:
To me, learning that Alien: Romulus was influenced by Isolation makes this announcement all the more delightful. Knowing how much Fede and his team cherished the collaboration between Sega and Creative Assembly, I believe the success of Romulus in theaters played a significant role in bringing us Alien: Isolation 2. This long-awaited sequel isn’t just a dream come true for fans; it feels like a testament to their love for that unique narrative.
In addition, Alien: Isolation offers players another opportunity to delve deeper into the intriguing backstory of Ellen Ripley’s prolonged cryosleep. By following Amanda Ripley (Andrea Deck), players can experience the thrill of surviving encounters with the relentless Xenomorph as well as synthetics referred to as “Working Joes.
While Amanda Ripley’s journey to uncover the truth about her mother unfolds, it takes place five years prior to the arrival of Alien: Romulus. Given what happened to her in Alien: Isolation, it’s hard to predict where this next chapter will lead.
Looking forward to the development of “Alien: Isolation 2”, it’s exciting to contemplate how and where Amanda’s ongoing journey might unfold within the Alien series, given the cliffhanger ending of “Alien: Romulus”. Will she encounter more challenges stemming from Substance Z-01? And will the information we have about “Alien: Earth” influence this next installment in video game excitement? We’ll find out as we likely wait a couple of years before this Isolation sequel hits the shelves.
Currently, enthusiasts of the Alien series have much to anticipate in the coming weeks. On October 15th, Alien: Romulus will be up for digital purchase and rental, while the Marvel Comics one-shot serving as its prequel is set to arrive on shelves on October 23rd. For those who wish to reexperience the cinematic installments of the Alien saga, your Hulu subscription can take you back into the heart of the horror.
