After 2013’s terrible Aliens: Colonial Marines, 2014’s Alien: Isolation was outstanding – no wonder it’s going to be one of the many games that receive a Nintendo Switch port. It was announced by SEGA at E3.

„When she left Earth, Ellen Ripley promised her daughter Amanda she would return home for her 11th birthday. Amanda never saw her again. 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. 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.

Overcome an ever-present deadly threat – Experience persistent fear as a truly dynamic and reactive Alien uses its senses to hunt you down and respond to your every move. Improvise to survive – Hack systems, scavenge for vital resources and craft items to deal with each situation. Will you evade your enemies, distract them or face them head-on? Explore a world of mystery and betrayal – Immerse yourself in the detailed setting of Sevastopol, a decommissioned trading station on the fringes of space. Encounter a rich cast of inhabitants in a world scarred by fear and mistrust,” the game’s description reads.

Alien: Isolation’s port, which will include all DLC, is handled by Feral Interactive, who are mostly known for porting AAA titles to Mac (Hitman, F1 2017, XCOM 2, Life is Strange, etc…), so SEGA’s choice might seem somewhat weird, but it makes sense, as they previously made the Mac port of the game, too. The game will launch later this year on the Nintendo eShop. In case you missed Alien: Isolation so far (it came out on many platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360), perhaps get it now but don’t end up with a broken-in-fear Switch.
