As per SEGA’s recent strategy for the West, the company will be publishing more games using the Aliens IP. It was revealed a while back that The Creative Assembly would be making a game but today we finally have the first details as to what the game will be.
Kotaku have discovered that The Creative Assembly will create a game called Alien: Isolation. The new game will be a FPS due for release in 2014 and will be a cross-generational title.
The game is also supposed to take the form of a stealth/horror title and play similarly to games like Bioshock and Dishonored. You also play as Amanda Ripley; Ellen Ripley’s daughter.
SEGA are hoping to make up for the bad reception of Aliens: Colonial Marines by giving The Creative Assembly plenty of time to develop the title and have already delayed the game’s announcement from a proposed E3 reveal.
More on this as it develops.

Now this might be a bit of a tenuous SEGA link but I think it’s worth mentioning. British metalcore/electronica band Centiment (who also feature members of InMe) are running a Pledge Music campaign for their debut album. What’s the album called? Why ‘Streets of Rage’ of course!
Other than being named after a famous SEGA beat-em-up, the band are also offering a remix version of the album which will feature “more than a little nod to video game music”. All the donation tiers are also cleverly named after generations of video game consoles with the lower levels being ’16bit’ and the highest level being ‘128bit’.
If video game inspired metal is your cup of tea then you might want to consider making a pledge towards Centiment’s album. You can access the Pledge Music page for the album by clicking here and download a free song by clicking here.
