Alien: Isolation, the upcoming survival horror game from Creative Assembly and Sega, won't feature colonial marines or soldiers, as it wants to focus more on androids, which are a big part of the universe.

Alien: Isolation is the next game in the popular series and follows the lackluster Aliens: Colonial Marines, which failed to impress fans because of its poor story and gameplay.

This time around, new developer Creative Assembly wants to eliminate soldiers and focus more on androids, which are present in different forms and intelligence levels, according to an interview with XboxAchievements.

"There are no soldiers in this game. Androids are one of the core components of the IP and in Alien there is Ash and there’s some duplicity there. But the station is run by a corporation called Seegsen and they have their own type of android who are just following instructions and are nowhere as near advanced as Ash."

Creative Assembly has also emphasized that the game won't be a traditional first-person shooter.
