As long as there's a single facehugger left in the universe, there's going to be another Aliens game, no matter how big of a debacle Aliens: Colonial Marines was, is and ever shall be. Titled Aliens: Isolation, an intent to use trademark filed with the US Patent and Trademark office means another game is going to jump out of whatever dark corner hasn't been checked.

The trademark has been designation specifically for "computer game and video game software." Then again, it also covers "decorative magnets," but its key purpose is for a software product. Meaning this isn't an Aliens film, book or TV series.

The trademark was filed by Twentieth Century Fox Film, but don't let that confuse the issue, so was Aliens: Colonial Marines. Speculation would mark this as the Creative Assembly game that's been in production for a couple years. However, we're always up for a chest-bursting surprise. Just, not at dinner, please.

Apparently an anonymous insider spoke to Kotaku about this, so take this with a pinch of salt, but here's the breakdown;

-you play as Ripley's daughter who was mentioned at the start of Aliens
-it's a shooter where you spend most of your time shooting clones and soldiers
-it's inspired by games like Dishonored and Bioshock
-it's being developed by Creative Assembly

So, yeah. Don't know what to make of it. A:CM was a travesty. The Bioshock and Dishonored mentions pique my interest, and the fact that it's not being 'developed' by Gearbox is a good sign, but, eh. I'll wait and see what comes of it.
