Today, a teaser trailer called "False Sense Of Security" was posted by the Alien: Isolation YouTube account. An industrial door unlocks and opens into a gloomy, rainy cityscape, and the scene cuts to one of Isolation's emergency phone save points. It's hard to believe it's been 12 years since the first game scared the bejeezus out of most everyone who played it, but here we are with a sequel approaching rapidly in the year of our Lord 2026.
That's what I assume this is about, anyway, but the description gives precious little to go on: "A feeling of being safer than one really is," it reads. It sounds like Creative Assembly is sticking to the overt horror of the original game, a game during which I did not feel safe at all, and that's totally fine by me. We've got all sorts of Alien games about colonial marines raining down hell, but precious few about the chill of being stalked by H.R. Giger's multi-mouthed icon.
