  In spite of that, fans still believed and hoped that an Alien: Isolation sequel was in the cards when the Alien Twitter account began to tease something new just a couple of days ago. ...

It was revealed and released without anybody knowing just what it was all about. Most who dove in thought it was just a unique horror demo and that wa...

  Yeah, there were more than a few legal issues with at least some of that and after some discussions with Bethesda, the mod team opted to put the project on hold. Thankfully, it looks like...
