Sega really wants us to forget about Alien: Colonial Marines as Alien: Isolation approaches its release. If you are a fan of the original 1979 film, then this news is for you.

If you pre-order Alien: Isolation, you'll be upgraded to the 'Nostromo Edition', which gives you access to two DLC packs. The first is called 'Crew Expendable' in which you can play from the perspective of the crew members while trying to flush the Alien out of the ship. Your choices include: Dallas (Tom Skerrit), Lambert (Veronica Cartwight), Brett (Henry Dean Stanton), Parker (Yaphet Kotto), and Ripley (Sigourney Weaver).

The second DLC pack, titled 'Last Survivor', grants you exclusive control of Ripley as you relive the movie's final moments. Ripley activates the Nostromo's self-destruct sequence and must escape the ship.

IGN spoke to the game's director, Alistair Hope, in terms of constructing the DLC: "You’re still confronting the alien, which is dynamic and reactive. It’s not scripted, which I think fits perfectly with these characters trying to confront it and surprise it. Every time you play it’s different."

And spoke of working with Sigourney Weaver on reprising her famous role: "It was unforgettable when Sigourney came in and started being Ellen Ripley again. It was quite special. The real joy was having Sigourney say, ‘Ellen would say this.’ We’d all look at each other, and say, ‘yes, of course that’s what she would say’. That’s an insight we couldn’t possibly have without working closely with those guys."


Look for Alien: Isolation to hit shelves on October 7th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
