But Creative Assembly isn't following that herd in particular. Rather, it's doing an Alan Wake 2 and promising to deliver a brand new terrifying adventure, building on its legacy rather than reconstructing it piece by piece.

"Alien: Isolation" director Al Hope announced a sequel to the 2014 survival horror video game is in early development.
