About

Face true fear in Alien: Isolation, a survival horror game set in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger. Fifteen years after the events of Alien, Amanda Ripley—daughter of Ellen Ripley—fights for survival on a mission to uncover the truth behind her mother’s disappearance. As Amanda, you’ll navigate an increasingly volatile world, surrounded by a panicked, desperate population and hunted by an unpredictable, ruthless Alien. Underpowered and underprepared, you must scavenge resources, improvise solutions, and rely on your wits—not just to complete your mission, but to stay alive. The Nostromo Edition includes the Crew Expendable bonus content with the original crew.

Storyline

Fifteen years after the events of the original Alien film, Amanda Ripley—daughter of Ellen Ripley—learns from Christopher Samuels, a Weyland-Yutani android, that the flight recorder from her mother’s ship, the Nostromo, has been found by the salvage vessel Anesidora. The recorder is being held on Sevastopol, a remote Seegson-owned space station orbiting the KG-348 gas giant. Samuels offers Amanda a place on the Weyland-Yutani retrieval team so she can finally find closure about her missing mother. Amanda, Samuels, and Weyland-Yutani executive Nina Taylor travel to Sevastopol aboard the Torrens courier ship, only to find the station damaged and communications down. During a spacewalk to investigate, debris severs their EVA line, separating Amanda and forcing her to enter Sevastopol alone. Inside Sevastopol, Amanda locates the Nostromo flight recorder, but it contains no data. She also discovers the station is spiraling out of control due to a deadly alien creature hunting aboard. After reuniting with Samuels and Taylor, she meets Marshal Waits and his deputy, Ricardo. Waits explains the alien came to Sevastopol with Anesidora captain Henry Marlow, whose crew found the flight recorder near the moon LV-426—along with the same derelict ship previously encountered by the Nostromo crew and a nest of alien eggs. During the expedition, Marlow’s wife was attacked by a facehugger. She was brought to Sevastopol for emergency treatment, but died after a chestburster emerged. Waits persuades Amanda to help trap the alien in a remote module. She succeeds, but Waits ejects the module with her still inside. As it hurtles toward KG-348, Amanda uses a space suit to jump back to Sevastopol. Returning to confront Waits, Amanda learns from Ricardo that the station’s service androids abruptly began slaughtering the remaining crew, including Waits. Samuels attempts to interface with Sevastopol’s controlling AI, APOLLO, to stop the rampage, but APOLLO’s defensive countermeasures kill him shortly after he opens a route for Amanda into the control core. There, she discovers Seegson had been trying to sell Sevastopol to Weyland-Yutani, and Weyland-Yutani ordered APOLLO to protect the alien at all costs. Amanda insists the creature is no longer aboard and demands APOLLO stand down, but the system refuses, stating that “scheduled reactor scans are unverified.” At the reactor, Amanda finds an alien nest and initiates a reactor purge to destroy it. Ricardo then tells her Taylor was sent to retrieve the alien, and that Taylor freed Marlow in exchange for the location of LV-426—only for Marlow to double-cross her and take her hostage aboard the Anesidora. On the Anesidora, Amanda finds a message from her mother recorded after her initial report on the Nostromo, finally giving her closure. Marlow tries to overload the Anesidora’s fusion reactor to destroy Sevastopol and ensure no alien creatures survive. Taylor kills Marlow while trying to undo the overload, but she is killed by the electrical discharge, forcing Amanda to escape just before the Anesidora explodes. The blast destroys Sevastopol’s orbital stabilizers, and the station begins drifting into KG-348’s atmosphere. Amanda and Ricardo call the Torrens for extraction, but a facehugger attacks Ricardo, and Amanda is forced to leave him behind. After going outside to help the Torrens detach, she is surrounded by alien creatures and blasted into the ship. On board, Amanda discovers another alien has made it onto the Torrens. Cornered in the airlock, she ejects both herself and the alien into space. Adrift in her suit, Amanda is awakened by a searchlight.
