Sega plans a physical release for Alien Isolation 2 on PS5, indicating a likely 2027 launch due to Sony's disc manufacturing deadline.
There’s a bit of a mix today in the PlayStation ecosystem, from anticipated upcoming releases to surprise enhancements of classic games. However, the most significant news is Sega’s hint at a 2027 release for Alien Isolation 2 through its decision to offer the game physically for PS5. Sega’s plan suggests that the sequel will come out before Sony stops manufacturing disc-based games in 2028. While nothing is set in stone, this is the first substantial window for fans hoping to revisit the alien-infested space stations of the series. More details can be followed from the original report on PushSquare.
