According to a new job listing, Creative Assembly is currently working on a brand-new and exciting first person tactical shooter. This new shooter is an unannounced IP, so it will be interesting to see what the team behind Alien Isolation has in store for us.
Here is the description for this new job listing.
“Creative Assembly’s award-winning team behind Alien: Isolation are exploring new frontiers with a brand-new and exciting First Person Tactical Shooter IP.
The team are looking for a Senior UI Artist to work on a new unannounced IP. This is an ideal opportunity for an accomplished artist with outstanding graphic design sensibilities to join the team.”
The Senior UI Artist will design and prototype new UI components to specification. The UI will be iterated throughout production, from wireframing through to release content. The perfect candidate will engage with the game outside of core UI, supporting other departments when necessary and providing additional 2D graphic design work on demand.

One of my favorite developers so ill be keeping an eye on this.
Tactical shooter, as in ARMA, Rainbow Six Siege, SWAT 4, Ghost Recon and the like ?
That seems like a totally different and new IP, based on the Game Developer’s history/profile of Video games developed, imo.
But anyways, I hope they come up with something good/interesting.
So do I, considering they’re an RTS/Grand Strategy Developer mostly. Id it’s a tactical shooter like Rainbow Six, considering we really don’t have anything like Rainbow Six 3 in this day and age or hell a new SWAT, the game would be probably be great.
I have a ton of faith in them as a developer, they’ve yet to let me down and Alien Isolation was quite the surprise for an FPS horror game. Some of the most fun I’ve had playing a game in a long time. They nailed the look of the old Alien movies completely in that game.
Tactical Shooters have a lot of potential to be bad though, I hope that isn’t the case with this game. Can’t wait to see some footage of it.
They seemed to do well when they branched out into survival horror with Alien Isolation so hopefully this goes well like that.
First Person Tactical Alien game ? Ehh to good to be true 🙁
A shooter game. Finally, someone is dipping their toes in that market.
also ready or not an blister.
It was pretty well optimized too.
How do you know it’s gonna be generic?
alien isolation was a repetitive boring space crawler everything you did in that game was crouch in darkness. Didnt sell well either.
Sega must have hired a ton of people in the past few years for CA to be working on 3 simultaneous Total War games AND a new IP.
