But Creative Assembly isn't following that herd in particular. Rather, it's doing an Alan Wake 2 and promising to deliver a brand new terrifying adventure, building on its legacy rather than reconstructing it piece by piece. In a world where new horror IPs are hard to come by in the world of video games, I'll take it.

I’ve written previously that Alien: Isolation is the best horror game I’ve ever played. If the sequel leverages what made the original so great - namely, that you can’t predict how any given level is going to play out - picking it up is going to be a no-brainer.

Alien: Isolation has been vindicated by history. Released to a split critical reception and underwhelming sales, the 2014 survival horror game has amassed a passionate cult following in the decade since it was released.

The upcoming survival horror game A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead will feature microphone detection that allows creatures to hear your real-life voice.
