The abbreviated name, "AI 2," is the scariest thing about it so far.

Creative Assembly/Sega Time works differently in space and on other planets, so the decade-plus that Alien Isolation fans have been waiting for the sequel might have felt like a blink of an eye on a different world. On terra firma, though, it's been a 12-year wait. Now, following an initial teaser last month, we got our first proper look at Alien Isolation 2 during Summer Game Fest's main showcase by way of a cinematic trailer.

The brief clip features a station in disarray, a flamethrower, a scream and a Xenomorph. All the correct elements, then. The survivor horror sequel is actually set on a colony planet, giving the alien much more space to stalk its prey.
