Today, 26th April, is ‘Alien Day’.<\/p>\n

I know at least some<\/em> of you might be scratching your head and wondering why, so let me very briefly explain. The planet on which James Cameron’s Aliens<\/strong> takes place is called LV-426. Get it? 426. April 26. There we go. Alien Day.<\/p>\n

Anyway, with that in mind, I thought this would be a good opportunity to examine the upcoming sequel to Alien: Isolation<\/a>, which was confirmed to be in development<\/a> back in 2024. The original game garnered some<\/em> criticism upon its release in 2014, but for many, including myself, it has stood the test of time and is arguably one of the greatest survival horror games of all time.<\/p>\n

There are ways, however, that the sequel can improve upon Isolation’s greatness, and I’d like to highlight six of them right here. Granted, the development team over at Creative Assembly is hopefully far beyond the initial concept stages at this point, and so these points may fall on deaf ears. But just humour me, yeah?<\/p>\n

Stick with me, dear reader. Priority One. All other priorities rescinded.<\/p>\n
