During this year's Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Creative Lead for Alien Isolation, Al Hope discussed a number of ways the team at Creative Assembly went about creating such an iconic and fear-inducing atmosphere for Alien: Isolation. During the conference, Al shows off some footage from when the game was in its various prototype phases - showing footage of a third-person view and explaining why they chose to stick with the first-person perspective for the game's final release as well as a number of other factors and learning experiences the developers experienced throughout production.
For the pitch DEMO, Creative Assembly used an Alien: Resurrection modeled Xenomorph
"When we set out to make Alien: Isolation our goal was to make the Alien game we had always wanted to play. A game that took the player back to Ridley Scott’s original haunted house in space. A game where just one Alien could be terrifying and provide a meaningful encounter to an underpowered and underprepared player."

Alien vs. Predator 3 – What We Know So Far
Officially, Alien vs. Predator 3 remains in concept phase for the time being. A reboot of the iconic crossover has been discussed on numerous occasions, with chatter picking up heavily from 20th Century Studios back in the Fall of 2024 after the successful release of Fede Alvarez's Alien: Romulus. The blending of Alien and Predator cinematic universes was further solidified in 2025 with Dan Trachtenberg's Predator: Badlands. The two movie monsters continue to coexist in the same timeline, but their conflict has not yet been realized since 2007. A reboot of Alien vs. Predator would likely ret-con the existing 2 entries and establish a completely new AvP timeline.
