Creative Assembly, the studio behind the highly regarded horror title Alien: Isolation, is recruiting for a new project. It's not entirely clear what exactly the new game will look like, but from the job description, we can glean a couple of details.
The listing asks for a programmer to join the team to work on "a brand-new and exciting First Person Tactical Shooter IP" which suggests that it may not be Alien related. It's possible this could be an offshoot of the franchise that focuses on strategy and cooperation, but it sounds more like a totally new IP to us.
We also know it'll be running on Unreal Engine 4, and that we'll be seeing it on multiple platforms, almost certainly including PS4. Games as a Service is also mentioned, suggesting this'll be a game continually updated over time, such is the fashion these days.
What do you want out of a new FPS from the team behind Alien: Isolation? Hide in a locker in the comments below.

A tactical FPS? We haven't had one of those since 'Rainbow Six Vegas 2' in my opinion. Although the Ghost Warrior games are very much tactical I'd argue. Still, we don't have that many of them lately. If they make it with enough depth, it could be fun to play one of these again. If it's a multiplayer game I'm out.
@b1ackjack_ps That would be very cool indeed. I didn't think of a tactical 'Aliens'-based game until you mentioned it.
If they would have made another 'Isolation', people would probably have complained about it: 'oh, it's just like the first one, boring ... bring me something new and totally unique'. That's how most people would react, especially the media.
Have CA still got the licence to make Alien games? If they have, it seems a waste to not use it....
Also if they're doing another Alien game, I hope they try to catch the vibe of the second film, in the way that Isolation captured the atmosphere of the first film (perhaps in a tactical shooter....)
I just picked up alien isolation from a sale on ps store. But, I haven't played it yet. May check it out tonight after work.
Alien Isolation is by far one of the best PS4 games, imo. I'd place it in the top 3.
"Alien" was Ripley VS the sexy alien and "Aliens" was a bunch of bullets-spitting idiots VS many stupid aliens. Maybe they are working on a team based shooter based on the second movie...
Hearing 'GaaS' always deflates my enthusiasm.
Well isolation was very much akin to the haunted house of the original alien movie sssoooooo, enter the sequal... alienS!
ALIENS with all its TACTICAL SHOOTING!!!
i think you see where im going with this.
MULTIPLAYER ALIENS 2 GAME!!! FTW
Alien Isolation is probably my Nr 1 alien game yet as well as my Nr 1 horror game.
I really hope that next game won't end up being something boring. A tactical shooter within the Alien universe would make me insta-buy it I suppose.
