Alien: Isolation’s Terrifying Introduction to the Perfect Predator - Art of the Level

Watch our Alien Isolation Art of the Level video on Alien Day 2023! Few video games capture the essence of their inspiration quite like Alien: Isolation. But it’s the ground-breaking use of the xenomorph that makes the 2014 survival horror game such a triumph; this perfect organism is an engine for fear.  The game’s fifth mission, The Quarantine, marks the Alien Isolation xenomorph first encounter, in which it actively hunts you through Sevastopol Station. To find out how it was made, we spoke to level designer Catherine Woolley and lead artist Jude Bond about how Creative Assembly brought together astonishing Alien Isolation AI, clever looping Alien Isolation level design, and cutting edge lighting to inject pure terror into your first Alien Isolation alien encounter. #IGN #Gaming #Alien
