Today Sega and Creative Assembly released a new trailer for the upcoming Alien: Isolation survival horror title that will launch later this year. “This isn’t a world of holograms and touchscreens; there’s no sense here that technology is going to save you”, says Alistair Hope who is the Creative Lead on Sega’s latest Alien game.
To stay faithful to the original source, Alien: Isolation™ takes a retro look to the future with a design aesthetic which developer Creative Assembly describes as lo-fi sci-fi. It’s clunky, it’s chunky, it’s push-button and analogue. There are no phasers or lasers, and the smartest weapons you find may be tied together with duct tape and string. A world very much of CRT not LCD, Alien: Isolation may be set in the future but it’s very much baked in the past.
Alien: Isolation will be available from October 7, 2014, for Xbox One, PS4, PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
