Alien: Blackout Has Been Trademarked by 20th Century Fox

20th Century Fox has recently filed a trademark for Alien: Blackout, to be used in an upcoming video game.

Hope it's another shooter like Alien Trilogy. That one was published by Acclaim and Fox Interactive IIRC.

[Nitrowolf2]

They may be hinting also that Kojima may be involved

Give me isolation 2

Or if it’s not that give me a good Aliens game that could live up to Alien 2 movie. If they do multiplayer approach don’t let it be trash like that gearbox excuse of a game

[PaleMoonDeath]

I saw his post on Instagram also.. Jesus that would be something!!

[CorndogBurglar]

Disney will have full ownership of every Fox movie franchise no later than this time next year. That means this game will likely never see the light of day.

[Nitrowolf2]

@corn

I doubt they would cancel it

I know they talked about giving alien and predator and other r rated movies a long, possibly forever rest.

But if they were smart, they would continue them only in gaming rather than films.

And if this does look good they’ll get a bunch of backlash if they cancel it
So I’m hoping this is as good as isolation was 💦

[CorndogBurglar]

Disney cancelled that Star Wars 1313 game that looked incredible the second they took over LucasArts.

Not to mention their plans to cancel all Fox-Marvel movies in development when they take over Fox.

So their track record all but confirms that they would cancel this. They have shown in the past that when they take over companies they cancel the projects in development so they can begin working their projects the way they want them done.

[RevXM]

If he is that should be interesting. hopefully he will approach Alien as a horror franchise while dabbling into the corporate shitstorm side of things.

Alien Isolation is really good, and IMO the best use of the IP since the movie Aliens. We have had a few good AVP games, But in terms of true Alien releases not since at least the ps1 game.

If the new game is made in the same vein as Isolation, in other words immersive horror survival game. Ill be very interested. I would be instantly hyped if Creative Assembly made a another one, but lets see how this one pans out. At least Gearbox and Randy is nowhere near this game so at least thats good lol.

Also I clicked on your link and what I took from it is.... Possible reveal of new alien game at the game awards this year? MY BODY IS READY!

[jznrpg]

Kojima and Aliens , wow

[william_cade]

I hope the rumor is true.

[GameStallion]

Please no MP

[CorndogBurglar]

No one should be getting their hopes up over this. Disney bought Fox Entertainment. That means as soon as the Disney-Fox deal is 100% finished, which is expected to happen as soon as the end of this year or early next year, the Alien franchise will then be owned by Disney.

So if they are just now trademarking this, a game will not be anywhere near finished when Disney takes over and chances are they will cancel it.

[Alexious]

Why are you so sure that they would cancel it?

[CorndogBurglar]

@ Alexious

We only need to look at their track record. Star Wars 1313 was in development by LucasArts and looked amazing. But when Disney bought Star Wars / LucasArts they cancelled all projects that were currently under development.

Also, look at Marvel/Fox. There is not a snowball's chance in Hell that Disney will allow all of Fox's current movies in development to see the light of day once they take over. That means that X-Force, New Mutants, and possibly even X-Men: Dark Phoenix are in serious trouble of not being released if Disney takes over soon enough. Dark Phoenix and New Mutants have a chance because they are pretty much finished already. But X-Force is screwed.

The point is, Disney has a history of cancelling projects in development when they take over companies. They would rather release projects they actually made so they can make them the way they want. Not to mention it's no money lost on their part to do that.

[hercules_]

They might be serious about this project, they deserve to be given a chance

[Chris_Wray]

I sincerely hope it's another game by Creative Assembly. Alien: Isolation is a fantastic game.

[ClayRules2012]

I hope so too. And agreed. Alien: Isolation was fantastic & had me terrified. Unforgettable & thrilling experience.

[mastaleep]

yes and the anxious moments are the best parts, also the sound design

[Concertoine]

One of the most underrated games this gen. The truth is AAA horror made a comeback years before RE: 7 and not enough people cared.

[kltpzyxm]

Hope it's a continuation of Alien: Isolation. It's probably my favorite game based on the Alien franchise.

[Marcello]

That story is being continued in a comic book due in January 2019. This is going to be something new. You can thank IGN & Gamespot for Isolation`s demise

[kltpzyxm]

Cool, I Wasn't aware of that. Yeah, they were a bit harsh on that game. Still hoping for a true sequel to that game though

[bigmalky]

Comic books can be a buffer between releases, rather than just meaning it's the end of the line.

[korgun]

You think those sites had some sort of vendetta against the developers?

[ccgr]

Interesting, looking forward to more about it

[Zeke68]

Hopefully an Alien Isolation-like game for PS5 / PSVR 2.0.

[DrumBeat]

Isolation 2, please.

[Fist4achin]

More Isolation please!

I don't get it, the groundwork is already in place for a hardcore shooter in the likes of deadspace, prey, Bioshock, etc... It just needs to land in the hands of the right development team and they're cooking with gas.

[PlayableGamez-]

Alien: Isolation is very underrated.

[CorndogBurglar]

I don't think its underrated. Isolation gets really high praise across the board.

[toxic-inferno]

But due to its mostly-mediocre reviews and little coverage during it's early weeks of release, it received a lukewarm reception at launch that it never quite managed to claw back. It didn't sell as well as you would expect a game of that calibre.

And I bought my PS4 FOR Alien Isolation.

[spaceb0y]

hmm...hopefully we get a great game.

[ajax17]

If not developed by Creative Assembly hopefully they'll at least have some sort of advisory role.

[banshyork]

Rome II wasn't good!

[MasterCornholio]

Im hoping for something similar to Alien Isolation.

[alb3rt]

could be a mobile game who knows

[deno]

If it's anything like Alien: Isolation, I am a happy man.

[jonny897]

Alien Isolation was good, so glad that it is still being talked about

[deno]

Alien Isolation is game we all wanted from Terminator, Alien, Robocop and Predator. For some developer to create an atmosphere and value to a game out of these four masterpieces is very much appreciated on my behalf. I grew up on these 80s masterpieces in the 90s. Imagine a Terminator game done in a proper format or Predator. That caters to their style/atmosphere.

[CorndogBurglar]

I've literally never heard a single person say they wanted a stealth Terminator or Robocop game.

[toxic-inferno]

You are exactly right. Creative assembly managed to take the late-70s technology, atmosphere and style, and still make it terrifying in 2015.

[TheHunter81]

Isolation IMO was great. Very underrated. A sequel would be nice!

[BenRoxio]

We may get a little tease soon, atleast the excitement is palpable.

[MWH]

Interesting title for a movie as well.

[Einhander1971]

Give me a great Alien single player adventure like Alien 2. Loads of action shooting, amazing set pieces.

[toxic-inferno]

See, I'm not Sure that would ever happen. Time and time again, we've seen that putting guns into the Alien games just devalues the threat, removing the horror element. And without that, it's just not Alien.

At least in Aliens (the film), you still had the memory of what the xenomorphs can do.

[Dfooster]

The key is to have guns but don't make your enemy cannon fodder. They could keep the core of alien isolation intact but mix it in with some sections where you can take down a few aliens with heavy weaponry. Basically alien 2 for the big moments and alien 1 as the stealth sections.

[windblowsagain]

Continue from where Isolation left off and crash her into the alien planet. Would be awesome. Puzzles, combat etc.

[deno]

That sounds real good.

[AK91]

Hopefully an Alien Isolation sequel.
