Today Fox announced that a sequel to Alien Isolation was on the way. It’s called Alien: Blackout and while some fans of the terrifying stealth-driven game might be enthused by this news, they might also want to take a seat for the next bit. The game is for mobile devices exclusively.
Alien: Blackout has you guiding Amanda Ripley and her crew through “seven fear-inducing levels” in a setup that sounds familiar to Five Nights at Freddy. You’ll be managing a space station, jumping from cameras and dealing with damaged controls to try and defeat the beast. The game promises multiple conclusions based on your choices.
A few hours after revealing Blackout, the official Alien account tweeted that there was “more to come,” possibly as a response to fans’ backlash to Blackout’s announcement. What #ReadPlayWATCH means is anyone’s guess at this point but hopefully means more games as well.
Dear Alien fans, there is still more to come… very soon. #ReadPlayWATCH #AmandaRipley
