Before Christmas, it was revealed that 20th Century Fox had applied for a new trademark for an unannounced video game called Alien: Blackout.
Twitter accounts for @AlienBlackout and @Alien_Blackout were also created back in September, further fuelling the flames that a new Alien game was in production.
Well, now we're in 2019, it looks like we could be seeing an announcement from Warner Bros. regarding the new title soon.
A new tweet from the Alien account has hinted that Alien: Isolation's protagonist, Amanda Ripley, still has more stories to tell.

"40 years ago, the Nostromo disappeared… In 2019, Amanda Ripley will uncover the secrets it left behind — no matter what. #AmandaRipley #ReadPlayWatch #January" reads the tweet.
Now, we already know that Dark Horse Comics is hard at work on a comic series based on the Isolation game called Aliens: Resistance, but that 'read, play, watch' hashtag is intriguing… are we due to see a cross-media campaign start that includes more games, comics and maybe even a TV or movie portion?
Warner Bros. clearly has the resources across its multiple studios, so we wouldn't be surprised to see the company leverage the power of the Alien brand in a new set of projects.
But what do we know about this rumoured new game so far?
Allegedly, the game is the work of Cold Iron Studios who have been working on the game having been bought by 20th Century Fox in 2015.
Previously the team was known as Cryptic Studios, having worked on several MMO's including Neverwinter, Star Trek Online, City of Heroes and City of Villians.
It also seems that since their buy out, it's been common knowledge that they've been working on a shooter in the Aliens universe for console and PC.
Clearly, the game had flown under the radar, but at the time the studio said they will “explore areas of the universe that fans havent got to experience."
