Sega has revealed the release date for their upcoming survival horror Alien game, Alien: Isolation.
Alien: Isolationlooks to reverse the fortunes of the Alienvideo game franchise, following the disappointing (and late) Aliens: Colonial Marines game from last year. But when a first person shooter doesn't exactly light up your life, why not change tactics a little? Enter Alien: Isolation, which takes the game back to the roots of the original Alienfilm, which was less about shoot-em-up pyrotechnics and more about body horror and uncertainty.
“We couldn’t be happier to finally announce a date for Alien: Isolation,” said Alistair Hope, Creative Lead at Creative Assembly. “The reaction we have seen so far has been simply incredible, from the screams and shrieks to the cold sweats and racing hearts. It’s the Alien game that we’ve always wanted to play and we can’t wait to let everyone get their hands on it this fall.”
The official word on Alien: Isolationfollows:
Alien: Isolation is a first-person survival horror game capturing the fear and tension evoked by Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic film. Players find themselves in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger as an unpredictable, ruthless Xenomorph is stalking and killing deep in the shadows. Underpowered and underprepared, you must scavenge resources, improvise solutions and use your wits, not just to succeed in your mission, but to simply stay alive.
Alien: Isolation will be available from October 7, 2014, for Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3, and Windows PC. Our chests are positively bursting with expectation (sorry).
