Aliens: Resistance (Defiance sequel)

[Ultramorph]

Tristan did hint that he wanted the story to go in that sort of direction, with Engineers or at least some Prometheus elements. Fingers crossed!

Was Zula the marine from the comics where the USCM looked like they just got done invading Baghdad in 2003?

[Schrödinger]

I was in high hopes a new game with Amanda would have been a thing.  But I'll take what I can get. Hopefully the comics are good enough to end up warranting a full on Novel later down the line. Game wise? I think it's safe to say we will probably never get another single player game that is on the same level as Isolation since ColdIron and FoxNext are mostly online specialists. 

On the bright side, you don't have to worry about lootboxes with comics and novels

^ Inagine having to buy multiple issue to get the "real ending"! 

[SM]

Wait, so is this a canonical continuation of Isolation? Whilst I'd prefer a game sequel, that is still a big deal and I'd get it just for that!

It's a canonical continuation of Isolation.

This is some pretty sweet news, I just hope it has better momentum than Defiance did. Defiance's second half was... not great.

[Ultramorph]

With only four issues, I imagine this will have a lot more momentum. I see it as a wrapping up of popular plot threads.

[Xenomrph]

Oh I didn't read the news blurb, I didn't realize it was a limited series.

Personally I'm more interested in the Amanda Ripley side of things than the Zula side.

[Ultramorph]

It will definitely be cool to see what Amanda is up to. I get a strong feeling we'll be going back to LV-426.

[The Old One]

If "The Company" is involved- I certainly hope not.

You unravel "Aliens" entirely if W-Y is aware of the Derelict beforehand.

[Perfect-Organism]

Whoa!

So I wonder how much co-ordination there is between the Isolation novel and Resistance.  I hope they are both canon and not contradictory.  Perhaps they cover similar ground?  It is curious how the release dates coincide.

[The Old One]

It is indeed.

[Ultramorph]

The release dates are too coincidental for there not to have been some coordination.

It would be pretty cool if the novel mentioned Zula. That would be a cool cross-media nod.

Surprised no one has mentioned Davis yet. Hope he comes back!

[The Old One]

I hope Davis returns, but only in a cameo if there's no appropriate place for him.

[Ultramorph]

He'll probably be disembodied, maybe the equivalent of Mother for Zula and Amanda's ship.
