SEGA has finally announced Alien: Isolation, confirming the first official details on Creative Assembly's long-rumoured Alien title.

Due for release on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PC in late 2014, Alien: Isolation follows the plights of Ellen Ripley's daughter Amanda, sent aboard remote trading station Sevastopol on a mission to recover the flight recorder of her mother's ship, the Nostromo, 15 years after the events of the original Alien movie.

The game also appears to be taking a starkly different direction to previous Aliens games, with the focus having moved away from combat and repositioned on slower-paced survival horror.

It's Amnesia in space, essentially, with Ripley stalked by a lone Xenomorph aboard the station.

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

"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 arrive 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."

The official announcement follows months of leaks, which saw screenshots, artwork and the synopsis leaking online. Still, if you want to see the first official screenshots head through here.

Interested in hearing more? Steve went hands-on with the game just before Christmas, but could it finally be an Alien game worth getting excited for? Well, yes...

Gameplay Trailer

I haven't played Colonial Marines, so I don't know how bad it really is. If this really is good survival horror, it will be very interesting for me.

this isnt the game informer game, right?

Creative Assembly, interesting. No WiiU version, sad but expected.

Probably not - the GI game is supposed to be "next-gen only" (which, when asked what constitutes "next-gen", they said to wait for the actual reveal... which makes me think they're including Wii U).

Poor Wii U.

I wanna be excited. It looks and sounds like it might be pretty decent, but so did Colonial Marines and that reveal gameplay trailer ended up basically being BS.

Good day for reveals and announcements! And yet another game on next gen consoles, nice.

Well Creative Assembly is almost a guarantee for a better game than Colonial Marines was.

However, if there's only that one Alien and you're only facing it a few times "alone". What the hell are you doing in the other parts of the game ?
