VIDEO: Alien: Isolation TV ad is suitably horrifying

MCV Staff 26th September 2014 Business News

There’s something stalking us, something that doesn’t belong here.”

Sega has released its official TV for upcoming horror outing Alien: Isolation.

The short focuses mainly on the iconic xenomorph itself and ramps up the tension by emphasizing the player’s relative helplessness in the face of such an overwhelming foe.

A bit of melee combat is shown off against a humanoid adversary (presumably an android) but the bulk of the action simply shows the player cowering or trying to find an escape.

It’s sure to strike a chord with fans of the IP and will undoubtedly have wide appeal amongst the gaming public.

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

Here’s the video:
