Fox Says Alien: Blackout Isn't A Sequel To Isolation Despite Sharing A Main Character

Fox reached out to Game Informer to clarify that "[Blackout] is a standalone game that shares Amanda Ripley as a main character but is not related to or a sequel of Isolation." We've amended the original story's terminology to better reflect the nature of what the game is.

way to destroy whatever incentive there was to play this abomination that no one asked for.

They should have just created a new character entirely, I feel they are back peddling with this after some of the backlash.

I feel this is now even worse because they’re essentially doing a what if story, when in reality they most likely intended to be cannon with her story

Well the good news in all this is if we do get an Isolation sequel we won't have missed anything.

Imagine seeing Amanda somewhere completely different, with new friends she's known for years and references other experiences with the Aliens...you'd be pretty ticked off a sequel has landed you in a story years after Isolation were we've missed all her character development.

I just want the sequel to pick up where Isolation left off.

Its a cash grab plain and simple.

there should've been an unseen playable character with no title like the Fnaf games, especially since they are copying said games.

I'm glad myself. I loved Alien isolation and the idea of the sequel being a mobile game was disheartening. If this is just some cash grab nothing FNAF clone to get a few bucks then whatever. All I hope for is a proper sequel to the cliffhanger of Alien isolation.

The game is definitely not perfect, but having a well made premium mobile game is definitely a breath of fresh air. I'm glad to hear they are further supporting this game

I am looking forward to finally seeing something on the new Alien shooter game. Hopefully on 4/26 if not at E3.
