"I'm a massive fan of Aliens, but it is a very different beast": Why Creative Assembly are still ignoring every movie but the original in Alien Isolation 2, despite heading planetside

Aliens takes place about seventy years or so after their games. Referencing that wouldn’t make sense. Apart from the tonal discrepancy.

Very different beasts is right. Alien makes sense as a sneak and survive game. Aliens would be a lot more difficult because of their numbers. I do think you could pull it off with Newt sneaking through small spaces that Aliens or adults couldn’t though. It would be that much more stressful knowing hundreds of Aliens are around instead of just one.
