Alien: Isolation ‘Corporate Lockdown’ add-on pack coming next week

SEGA announced today the release date of "Corporate Lockdown," the first of five add-on packs planned for Alien: Isolation.  Available October 28, the new add-on offers players three new "challenging and terrifying" maps for Survivor Mode.

In ‘Corporate Lockdown’, Seegson Executive Ransome has learnt that he has been abandoned by his paymasters. Knowing that the Torrens is on the way, he decides to make his escape and hitch a ride on board, taking decoded Nostromo data with him. However, while escaping he wants to tie up a few loose ends…

The three new maps — Severance, Scorched Earth, and Loose Ends — challenges players to escape the station in the fastest possible time or to attain the top score through numerous side quests and hidden bonus objectives. Players can compete against one another through the Alien: Isolation online leaderboards.

Corporate Lockdown will also add the a new Gauntlet Mode where players are challenged to top the Gauntlet Mode leaderboards by completing all three challenge maps back-to-back-to-back without dying.

Corporate Lockdown will be available for $7.99, and will be followed by four more add-on packs: "Trauma," "Safe Haven," "Lost Contact," and "The Trigger." Each pack offers a new perspective on the events on-board Sevastopool Station in the days before the arrival of the Weyland-Yutani team, featuring new playable characters and a mix of new maps, objectives, and game modes. Fans already planning on purchasing each add-on can save by buying the Alien: Isolation Season Pass, which totals a 25 percent discount. All add-on packs are expected to be released by March 2015.
