Creative Assembly unveiled the first trailer for Alien Isolation 2, code-named 'AI 2', moving the horror to a colony planet. Meanwhile, Capcom confirmed the long-rumored remake of Resident Evil Code Veronica, now simply titled 'Resident Evil: Veronica', set for a 2027 release.

This marks Creative Assembly's return to the franchise after years of silence, proving that critical acclaim eventually paved the way for a sequel.
