At Gamescom 2026, journalists were given about half an hour to play Alien: Isolation 2 on PS5 on the first impressions Creative Assembly retained the original's main feeling: constant tension and fear of the xenomorph.

In the beginning of the game, new heroine Blake, a Weyland-Yutani employee, explores the planet LV-921. After the fall of the ruins of Sevastopol, she finds herself in a familiar KG348 lab.

Details: there will be both open locations on the planet's surface and narrow interiors; the graphics noticeably advanced compared to the first part, especially the face, lighting and weather effects; the limited battery-powered lantern, signal lights, resource collection and distraction of the enemy objects returned; the xenomorph again patrols locations freely and responds to noise; the environment influences secrecy: for example, the water under the legs gives a position; play a full sound in Spanish.

However, the journalist has yet to see any major changes to the basic gameplay and has not been able to assess how much the Xenomorph AI has improved. #game
