Released for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC back in 2014, the survival horror video game Alien: Isolation is now set to make its move to mobile devices. Feral Interactive has announced that Alien: Isolation will be coming to iOS and Android on December 16th.
We recently covered Alien: Isolation in an episode of our horror video game series Playing with Fear, and you can check that out in the embed above.
Alien: Isolation centers on Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien franchise heroine Ellen Ripley. Set 15 years after the events of the first Alien movie, the game’s story begins when
Amanda Ripley learns that the flight recorder of her mother’s ship has been found. The recorder ends up on the salvage ship Anesidora and is being held by the Seegson Corporation on the Sevastopol space station. Amanda is given the offer to join the retrieval team so she can find out what happened to her mother. Playing as Amanda, you arrive at the station to find its inhabitants are being stalked by the iconic alien, and have to use gadgets and stealth to survive as it hunts you.
Game Spot reports that the iOS / Android version of the game “has been tailored for touchscreen play with a fully customizable interface. Also, all seven DLC packs are included in this release, such as the Last Survivor and Crew Expendable.”
Since its initial release in 2014, Alien: Isolation was ported to Linux and OS X in 2015, to Nintendo Switch in 2019, and recently to Amazon Luna. I’ve never played the game myself, so maybe I should give it a try in December.
