Sega today announced several new (old) cast members and pre-order bonus content for Alien: Isolation. Die-hard fans will be ecstatic to know that Sigourney Weaver will be reprising her role as Ellen Ripley for the game.
Also joining Weaver are Tom Skerritt (Dallas), Veronica Cartwright (Lambert), Harry Dean Stanton (Brett), Yaphet Kotto (Parker) and Ian Holm (Ash) will appear in two downloadable bonus missions that will recreate scenes from the original Alien film.
“Working with the original cast has been an incredible experience,” said Alistair Hope, Creative Lead on Alien: Isolation. “It was important to us to have the key original cast members reprise their roles in order to perfectly capture the atmosphere of the movie. For some of the original cast, this is their first appearance in an Alien video game. Seeing them reprise those roles after 35 years was an unforgettable experience.”
Moreover, anyone who pre-orders the game will get upgraded to its Nostromo Edition, which includes the bonus content “Crew Expendable”.
“Players can choose to play as one of three surviving crewmembers, only moments after Brett’s death at the jaws of the creature,” Sega said. “As Ellen Ripley, Dallas or Parker, players can explore the Nostromo from habitation deck down through engineering, coordinating their efforts with Lambert and Ash to lure the Alien into the ship’s airlock.”
There are retail-specific pre-order bonuses as well, but these have yet to be confirmed in Australia.
Alien: Isolation will be available from 7 October on Windows PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
