If ALIEN: ROMULUS is good and does well at the box office

[Argylle]

then I think it could help us get a sequel to ALIEN: ISOLATION.

ROMULUS looks like it's leaning heavily into the terrifying/gory stuff more so than the action stuff. Yes, there'll be some "pulse riffle moments" as it's a cross between ALIEN and ALIENS (as Fede Alvarez already confirmed) but from the trailer it looks like ROMULUS is 80% ALIEN and 20% ALIENS.

So I genuinely think that if this new movie is received well enough, critically and commercially, then maybe the folks at 20th Century Studios will think about doing more of the scary stuff instead of the action stuff. Fingers crossed!

Not by the same devs since they arent around.

If something does happen, it will have to be some other team.

Because it wouldn't be made by the same people I would be interested but highly sceptical about any sequel.

Oh? What do you mean by "theyr arent around"? I've heard nothing about The Creative Assembly, I just thought they were working on another Total War or something.

But yeah, like BenShinobi said, if they aren't back, I'd be pretty sceptical too.

Didnt the Isolation devs disband after the game didnt do well initially?

Okay so I went searching on Google and from what I saw, officially The Creative Assembly as a studio still exists currently, but yeah their latest main games "HYENAS" was cancelled. I remember hearing about it but I had no idea it was a Creative Assembly game. There's also this interesting but somewhat depressing Reddit post about their current situation: https://www.reddit.com/r/Volound/comments/17ivpx4/creative_assembly_as_a_studio_is_dead/

It's not looking good. D*mn it needs to be them if we ever get an Isolation sequel.

Creative Assembly was the publisher, not the developer of the game. The actual developer company that made this disbanded. I don't know if the same people are working together as a group under a different company name or something, but that's why there's concern that a sequel wouldn't do the original justice.

Creative Assembly own the IP and if they decided to make a sequel (unlikely in itself as Isolation didn't make enough in game sales) it would almost certainly be completely different people working on making the game.

Wait really? Isn't Sega the publisher? I've always heard and read that Sega was the publisher and Creative Assembly the devs, I seem to remember people from CA all over the marketing videos back in the day.

But yeah if the main people behind Alien Isolation are really all gone, then there's even less chances of a sequel than I thought lmao. Depressing.

My bad, you're right. Sega is the publisher. In any case the specific people that developed this game are no longer about. I thought it was a subsidiary of CA, but possibly just a department within the company.

Question is who owns the IP and rights to make games now... Honestly Romulus does look like its inspired from this game.. Space station that a crew lands on and its infested with aliens... hmm, does it sound familiar .. ITS THIS GAME lol

[slientmoon]

theres a vr game called "Alien: Rogue Incursion" which is by Survios and coming shortly. there is a chance that there will be an another game with alien fx and alien romulus coming out too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnzh9Ll4i7A&ab_channel=PlayStation
