It’s an unsettling walk through a dark forest, with a voice on your comms setting the stakes by telling your character that you’ve only got one chance to fix whatever has gone wrong in the time since the first game came out so long ago.

There aren’t too many details in this short look at the game, but we can confirm that there’s a Xenomorph on the loose, in case you were getting lulled into a false sense of security. We can also confirm that it cuts quite the sinister figure, hunting you from the shadows before it leaps in for the kill. It looks as menacing as you would expect it to be, and taking it on is definitely not for the weak of heart.

In case you’ve forgotten, considering just how long it’s been since the first game released, this one’s set in the same universe as the films, ẃith the first game being successful enough to fuel a long chain of rumors and speculation about this one’s existence.

We can’t wait to hear more about this one from Creative Assembly, and the trailer below should easily demonstrate why that’s the case.

They also provided new details on the sci-fi survival horror, namely that it’s developed on Unreal Engine 5 (its predecessor used the studio’s own engine). Then there’s the Game Design Director listing, with one of the day-to-day responsibilities stated to be defining and delivering “a long-term roadmap” and “scoping an ambitious multi-year release plan for the project.”

It seemingly indicates that Creative Assembly is planning to ramp up development, which is a good sign. However, the “multi-year” part potentially means it could be a while before we see it released. Which wouldn’t be the biggest surprise – the project entered “early development” last year, and we’ve yet to see any gameplay, much less learn its official title.

Good things come to those who wait, of course. With the amount of time it’s taken for a sequel to Alien: Isolation to even get greenlit, one can only hope that it’s worth it. Stay tuned for more details, and in the meantime, check out our review of the original, where we praised its recreation of the setting, the Xenomorph’s AI, and much more.

Titled “False Sense of Security,” it opens with the camera slowly zooming in on a door in the dark, which subsequently opens into a rainy night. A phone with “Emergency” on it is beeping before cutting to black. Before the first transition, however, it’s worth noting that the building complex seemed torn up.

Perhaps the result of something cutting loose and causing havoc? Mayhaps a Xenomorph or three? While it doesn’t have an official name, release date, platforms, gameplay, etc, Creative Assembly clearly has a vision for the sequel. All that remains is to see where it goes.

If you haven’t played the original, Alien: Isolation launched in 2014 for consoles and PC to fairly strong praise. Set 15 years after the first film, it starred Amanda Ripley, who ventures aboard the Sevastopol to search for her mother, Ellen. Naturally, things take a turn for the worse, as she must evade a seemingly invincible Xenomorph to survive.

Silent Hill Townfall

Silent Hill has made a grand comeback as of late, and Townfall takes the iconic franchise in a more experimental direction – focusing heavily on psychological storytelling and building atmospheric tension. Early teasers suggest a strongly narrative-driven experience that leans into surreal horror and several plot twists, and that will be coupled with thrilling exploration and mind-bending puzzles – and it’s definitely one of the hottest games of the near future.

We’re obviously excited and can’t wait to see what the latest edition of the event brings to the table. But we’re also hoping that it gives us news about a few titles we’re quite excited about. Without further ado, here are the things we’d love to see at The Game Awards 2025.

1. Fallout 3 Remastered Reveal Trailer

We’re itching at the chance to dive right back into what’s close to the best Fallout title we’ve played. With Bethesda doing a great job of bringing The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion back to life, we can’t wait to see what the studio does with a title that has the potential to have this one among the best remakes/remasters out there.

Given how the studio managed to modernize another of its classics, a trailer for this one would be quite nice, allowing us all to see just how well the remaster manages to recapture the magic of the original.

2. GTA 6 Trailer

Given the delay to this highly aniticpated title, we’d say it’s about time that Rockstar gives us more concrete news about it, It’s probably safe to guess that the game is atleast ready for a trailer at TGA 2025, and it would definitely reassure the gaming community at large that the game is indeed coming in 2026, given how much hype it already has behind it.

This is an opportunity to showcase what it can do, and we sure as hell hope Rockstar is ready to show off its upcoming flagship title.

3. Half-Life 3 Reveal Trailer

The rumor mill has already hinted at a reveal for Half-Life 3 at TGA, and we’re definitely hoping that it got things right this time. While Valve has chosen to let us stew in its silence on this one, that’s not to say that there is any good reason why the studio should choose to make an announcement about a title that’s going to bring back fond memories of the games that came before it.

Once again, it’s an opportunity to bring back a dormant franchise back to the mainstream and enthrall legions of players while you’re at it. Let’s hope Valve sees things the same way we do!

4. Alien Isolation 2

The next chapter of Alien Isolation is a fine choice for a reveal at TGA, considering just how well the first title managed to recapture the magic of the franchise as its players made their way to a desolate facility overrun with Xenomorphs.

With the first game’s story giving us the impression that things were only beginning to heat up, it’s more than about time that the next instalment makes itself known, and gives us an end to the agonizing wait for this follow-up to the first title.

5. The Next Metro Game Reveal Trailer

We think it’s safe to say that you’d agree that it’s about time we got a new Metro game. With speculation rife about a potential reveal at TGA 2025, this is another batch of rumors that have us hoping for their credibility.

A blend of Last Light and Exodus would certainly be a great addition to the franchise, and a trailer showcasing how the game could be the one that cements its future in modern gaming.

6. Max Payne 1 + 2 Remake Reveal Trailer

It’s always good to hear back from old friends, and Max Payne definitely fits the bill. A remake of both the first two games is already on the cards, with Remedy and Rockstar collaborating to bring both titles into one comprehensive package.

We’re hoping to see a trailer of what that new title could bring to the table, and perhaps get ourselves hyped up to dive back into an adventure that has given us so many fond memories.

7. OD

Hideo Kojima and Jordan Peele collaborating on a horror title? Sign us up! We’re hoping to hear more about this game at TGA 2025, especially after knowing that Kojima was a part of a Silent Hill title before his infamous fallout with Konami.

This is a horror title that could change the genre if you consider the prodigious skill sets of its makers, and is definitely something we want to hear more about, no matter the occasion.

8. Metal Gear Solid 1 Remake

After Naked Snake’s current-gen debut, it’s only natural to want a franchise that’s been a source of so many fond gaming-related memories to get to us sooner rather than later. We’re hoping that Konami builds on the momentum it has achieved with Delta: Snake Eater, and brings us more remakes of a franchise that continues to be a crucial part of modern gaming.

If the previous remake was any indication, this is a title that’s going to be faithful to the original that inspired it while also making it relevant enough to appeal to newcomers as well.

9. The Next Wolfenstein

We loved The New Order and also enjoyed The New Colossus, which makes us believe that six years is way too long without a Wolfenstein game in the making. Here’s to hoping that TGA 2025 ends that long wait, and that a new title in a franchise that was part of our early gaming years hits the stage and puts it back on the map.

10. Ace Combat 8

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from the Ace Combat series since 2019’s Skies Unknown. With the game’s producer already giving cryptic hints about a new game, TGA 2025 might just be the best place to make it official.

It’s going to be great to see the franchise come to life with Unreal Engine 5-powered visuals and any potential tweaks to the gameplay loop that Bandai Namco chooses to bring to the table.

11. Kingdom Hearts IV

It’s been a while since this one was announced, and we’re hoping to hear more about it at TGA. A face-off between Sora and Heartless is surely going to come with a lot of twists and turns we weren’t expecting, and this is a game that we’ve been excited about for a very long time.

Fans of the franchise are sure to share our sentiments, and this is a title that needs to be a part of the festivities and might even prompt some folks to continue celebrating long after the event is over.

12. Final Fantasy Remake Part 3

With the game’s director recently stating that it’s more or less complete, TGA 2025 is the perfect stage to introduce this one to the world. We already know that the game is down to two final titles, with one being officially finalized at the end of the year.

Well, that time is almost upon us, and we’re sure that the game is going to have something for us to chew on at TGA 2025. An update would do well to keep the hype up for a game that many are waiting for, after all.

13. New Light No Fire Trailer

A new IP from the makers of No Man’s Sky is obviously a massive draw, considering the success of the latter. It’s quite an ambitious effort from Hello Games, although its premise and new world might be different from the studio’s previous offering.

A new trailer showcasing the game’s many pillars and gameplay loop is definitely something we’re not willing to wait for, and we’re hoping that TGA is a great occasion for more news.

14. The Division 3 Revealed

The developer might have managed to begin a revival of its fortunes, but so much hinges on its upcoming projects that the studio must get things right. Fortunately, this is a studio that has no dearth of talent that can help it regain its footing, and The Division is one among them

Let’s hope that the developer manages to get its resolutions for 2026 in place before TGA 2025, and that this highly anticipated title is a part of those plans.

15. The Wolf Among Us 2

It’s rare that we have the patience to wait for a sequel to an awesome game for nearly twelve years. However, our patience has now run thin, and we’re hoping that Telltale Games gives us a snippet about a sequel to one of our favorite episodic titles.

We look at it as a new season of a show that managed to capture our hearts and minds before vanishing off the map without a trace. We’re glad a sequel’s in the making, but would like to know more about it if its makers decide that TGA is a good place to give out more news.

And that’s a wrap on everything we’re hoping to see at TGA 2025. Let’s all hope that developers around the world feel the same way as we do, and bring all of their hard work to the spotlight that it deserves.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater set the internet ablaze with hype and anticipation when it was announced, and while some snippets of the gameplay have been revealed already – we are still waiting for sort of a launch trailer or a gameplay deep dive before we reach its imminent release date of August 28.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

The Metroid Prime series has always received renown for fun gameplay loop while packing challenging bosses, incredible environments and devious puzzles. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond looks to offer just as much, but really, the promise of a new Retro Studios title after all these years is enough for us.

In a Twitter post looking back on the first game and how it was a “dream project brought to life by a brilliant team,” creative director Al Hope said the studio has “heard your distress calls loud and clear.” The sequel is currently in early development with more details to be revealed when the team is ready.

Alien: Isolation launched in October 2014 for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC. Set 15 years after the first film, it follows Amanda Ripley as she ventures to the Sevastopol to search for her mother. Unfortunately, she runs afoul of an intelligent Xenomorph who relentlessly pursues her. Unlike other enemies, it can’t be killed, thus stealth and running away are the only options.

Alien: Isolation receive generally positive reviews at launch and sold over two million copies as of May 2015. Check out our review for more details.

When a new Alien title was teased, namely one that would continue the tale of Amanda Ripley from Alien: Isolation, fans were fairly ecstatic. Of course, when the announcement of Alien: Blackout as a mobile title was made, FoxNext incurred quite a bit of wrath. Comparisons to Blizzard’s infamous reveal of Diablo: Immortal were made, even though FoxNext confirmed that an MMO shooter based on the film series was in development for consoles and PC.

In a new interview with Variety, TQ Jefferson, VP of external development at FoxNext, addressed some of the news around Alien: Blackout. Concerning the backlash against the title being on mobiles and how it was like the disappointment surrounding Diablo: Immortal, Jefferson said, “I can see some people making a connection between ‘Diablo’ and this, but I think it’s a bit of a leap. The ‘Diablo’ backlash was focused on free-to-play and mobile, our game is a premium mobile game where you pay one price and you’re done. It’s a contained experience.”

Jefferson did state that 20th Century Fox was aware of the demand for an Alien: Isolation sequel. While he confirmed that Alien: Isolation 2 was not in development, Jefferson noted, “But it’s not that binary. There are a lot of stories we can tell in the franchise. We can tell more stories about Amanda Ripley without it being an ‘Isolation’ game.”

Disgruntled fans on PC and consoles can still look forward to Cold Iron Studios’ shooter, which was first confirmed to be in development back in January 2018. For the time being, a first person stealth horror title seems to be on the back-burner. Plans could change though – we’ll wait and see how Alien: Blackout pans out in the meantime.

The Creative Assembly may be working on Total War: Warhammer 2 along with other games in the Total War series but there could be more in store.

According to Official PlayStation Magazine (via PlayStation Universe), sources have stated that “after work is finished on Halo Wars 2, a new Alien game may start development over at Alien Isolation dev Creative Assembly.” Take this with a grain of salt as usual.

Rumours of a sequel to the first person horror title have been prominent for a while. Though publisher Sega wasn’t all too happy with sales of the original, The Creative Assembly has stated that a sequel could certainly happen. Where it could go – especially with the upcoming Alien: Covenant – is anyone’s guess but it will probably be a terrifying experience.
