Field guide
LV-921, Alien Isolation 2 Colony World
LV-921 is the name previewers attached to the planet under Blake’s boots: rain, dead trees, lightning, and no station ceiling to hide the sky.
A catalogue number with weather
IGN’s hands-on placed the player moving between Kurosaki’s confines and LV-921’s distressed surface. GameSpot and others used the same number. SEGA’s marketing prefers “remote, storm-ravaged colony-world,” which is the poetry. LV-921 is the filing. Do not confuse it with LV-426. Different hell, different paperwork.
What we have seen of the surface is hostile in a terrestrial way: forest that looks almost like Earth until the vines and the storm argue, trenches, tunnels, a rover that fails, lightning that starts fires. Hope wants a seesaw between inside and outside. That only works if the outside is not a loading corridor. Treat every exterior as a hunt in progress. The outdoor guide is the field manual. The station page is the building you will want and then regret.
The teaser below is the first time the series showed you rain through a door and a phone booth waiting in it. Save rituals on a planet are the point. Security is the joke. If you came for space-station purity, the planet is the sequel’s thesis. If you came for survival, the planet is just a bigger room with worse acoustics. Either way, Blake’s plot starts with a walk you would not take without a company order.
What we have not seen
How the Xenomorph fully uses caves, canopy, or long sightlines is still a director promise more than a demo fact. Critics asked for that footage. This wiki will not animate it for them. When it lands, update the AI page first, then this one. Until then, rehearse silhouette discipline and the walk from rover to wreck.
