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.

While we all wish the first released game of this genre was from the Alien franchise, the fact is that perhaps the best game ever released in this genre is the first Dead Space on PS3. I can’t see another game, even with Xenomorphs, topping the experience of that game the first time through.
