Alien: Isolation - Screenshots

In October, the chance to be pitted against an acid blooded creature that has been the cause of more than a few nightmares will be offered in the form of Alien: Isolation. Set within a world highly reminiscent and based of  Ridley Scotts 1979 film Alien, Isolation will be placing you into the shoes of Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Ellen Ripley, as she sets out to investigate a possible lead on her missing mother, taking her to a space station that has descended into chaos.

Until then, a wealth of new screenshots from E3 have arrived showing an environment oozing with atmosphere and potential scares. The terrifying Alien itself is fully visible below, a horrifying figure of death that is joined by determined, and possibly just as dangerous, androids striding towards the player. A whole load of fire also features in many of the images, a substance that may be both a danger and a useful means of defense.

Alien: Isolation will be heading to PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC on October 7th.
