Where is alien queen?

I finished this game. I saw eggs in everywhere, Where is queen? If there are no queen then where did the eggs come from? :/

My guess is they were giving a nod to Ridley Scott's idea of the alien lifecycle in the original Alien. Ripley finds Dallas and Brett cocooned, where Brett is turning into what appears to be an alien egg. This was originally a deleted scene, but supposedly it has been somewhat reinstated. I haven't seen a new release of Alien so I can't say for sure. http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Eggmorphing

A problem with that idea is that the station victims shown in the nest are not being cocooned and turned into eggs as Brett and Dallas were, but rather were "cemented" into the walls by alien resin secretions and were chest-bursted with empty eggs nearby, as were the colonists in Aliens.

I joined the Navy to see the world, only to discover the world is 2/3 water!

The developers left it ambiguous, but have said there indeed is a queen on the ship. They didn't show it because it was not necessary to the plot like in the first movie. Also if you did find it, people would expect a boss fight which is contrary to the style of the game.

It is speculated Marlow's wife was the host of the queen. This is why there is still a live facehugger on the Anesidora. Royal facehuggers can implant 2 embryos, a queen and a drone and may enter hibernation for a period of time after implanting a queen egg, thus appearing to be dead when they found it on the floor.

Maybe the company had ships that brought the eggs back? Or the alien queen in the reactor and since Aliens is canon, I'm sure she is in there.

I can't see the eggs "cooperating" with this idea. I think the facehuggers would be bursting out of them like crazy if they were being handled and transported by potential host material. Despite not seeing any sign of a queen...I think she was there.

I guess the queen was somewhere deep down in the reactor,but was killed when Amanda purged the nest.

Makes sense. I think the previous comment about the game creators not wanting to show the Queen because it would mean having to have a final showdown with her makes sense. They wanted to keep it strictly Alien vs. Amanda in the end and throwing the Queen in the mix would be lame without having her be the final showdown.

Yeah, plenty of fights with the queen alien in various Alien vs Predator or Aliens games.

My answer to an old thread :)

It's obvious the gamedevelopers payed homage to the original 1979 film. The look, the feel, the atmosphere, the sound and the music, ... everything feels like the original movie.

In 1979 there was no queen. That only came later with the James Cameron popcorn movie.

So, no queen in 1979? No queen in Alien Isolation.

Just my 2 cents 

English isn't my 1st language. I'm sorry for any mistakes in grammar, spelling...
