It’s now been six years since Creative Assembly released the critically acclaimed Alien Isolation. For those that missed it previously, it was a reminder that this talented team is working on a brand-new, first-person shooter.
6 years ago, we released Alien: Isolation to critical acclaim. Many of those developers are now working on our brand new FPS-IP.#ALIENISOLATION pic.twitter.com/EEd0MYW5B1

While little is known about the project outside of the development team, Creative Assembly had previously teased District 9 and Elysium Director Neil Blomkamp visiting the studio. Blomkamp responded by saying:
The FPS they are building is extremely cool. Amazing core concept. Had an awesome time. Thanks @CAGames for hosting me!
So, this happened. @NeillBlomkamp dropped by CA HQ for a behind-the-scenes look at the development of our brand-new FPS IP! pic.twitter.com/hXEAnAHEEX

Our Take
Alien Isolation is often quoted as one of the most underappreciated titles of the generation and given the talent at Creative Assembly, we’re very excited to see what they are working particularly if it’s another rich sci-fi universe. We will certainly keep you updated when we learn more.
