It's somehow been 12 years since we first got the pants scared off us in the excellent survival horror adventure Alien: Isolation, but we're finally getting another go-round with the powerful, unkillable xenomorph.

At Summer Game Fest, we got our first teaser for Alien: Isolation 2—and even though it doesn't show us much, what it does show looks great.

We're leaving the space stations behind, as the sequel is set on a planet this time, though that doesn't mean we're going to be completely free of the atmosphere and chills of the original game.

"This time we're unleashing the alien on an unsuspecting colony world," said Ana Sopikova, art director at Creative Assembly. "From the claustrophobic confines of the colony itself to the exposed and storm ravaged landscapes surrounding it, Kurosaki Station is a new hunting ground for the ultimate apex predator.

"Players will face a desperate struggle to survive and escape, and we cannot wait to show you more in the future."

Unfortunately, the new Steam store page for Alien: Isolation 2 doesn't give us a whole lot more information, or even an idea of a release window beyond "Coming soon." The screenshots are all labeled "Pre-alpha capture," which doesn't suggest a release is right around the corner.

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
