Creative Assembly: Alien: Isolation 2 uses custom lighting and audio over Unreal Engine 5

Creative Assembly said Alien: Isolation 2 relies on its own lighting and audio tech built on top of Unreal Engine 5. Principal environment artist Archie Whitehead said the engine is optimized for brighter scenes, while custom solutions deliver the right response in very dark environments. The game is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
