Alien: Isolation announced for late 2014

SEGA has revealed Alien: Isolation, a new title in the Alien franchise from Creative Assembly.

Set 15 years after the events of the original Alien movie, Isolation follows Ellen Ripley's daughter Amanda, who has been tasked with finding the flight recorder of her mother's ship, the Nostromo.

It'll be a slow-paced survival horror, with Amanda being shadowed by a lone Xenomorph.

"When she left Earth, Ellen Ripley promised her daughter Amanda she would return home for her 11th birthday," reads the plot. "Amanda never saw her again.

"Fifteen years later, Amanda, now a Weyland-Yutani employee, hears that the flight recorder of her mother's ship, the Nostromo, has been recovered at the remote trading station Sevastopol.

"The temptation for her to finally understand what happened is too much to resist. When the crew arrives at Sevastopol, they find something is desperately wrong. It all seems to be connected to an unknown menace, stalking and killing deep in the shadows.

"In order to uncover the truth about her mother, Amanda is forced to confront the same terrifying thing that separated them."

Alien: Isolation will launch on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC at the end of the year.
