First Alien Isolation DLC Arrives Late October: Five Planned 'Survival Mode' DLC Map Packs With Leaderboard Challenges Coming, Season Pass Offered

Prove You're A Better Gamer Than Your Friends With The New Alien: Isolation Survivor Mode DLC

I guarantee you that five seconds after the first game of Solitaire, one of the inventor's friends was like 'I bet I could beat this game in less moves.' And thus, bragging rights were forever integrated into games. The new Alien: Isolation is taking this concept seriously, and has introduced single-player leaderboards with the new game mode, Survivor.

Assassin's Creed Unity Will Feature Many Ways To Succeed

The new mode "challenges players to participate in a one-to-one confrontation with the universe's deadliest killer, deep within the bowels of Sevastopol Station. With limited resources on each map and a hunter on the loose, players will need to take advantage of every item they find to help them complete a unique set of objectives which will ultimately lead to their escape."

Players will get marks for hiding, not using certain items, avoiding detection, etc. Afterwards, a score is tallied and sent to the Alien: Isolation leaderboards, so you can compare yourselves to your friends and players around the world.

"At this year's E3 and a number of subsequent events, we put the Survivor Mode demo into the hands of the world's press and consumers and the reception was incredible," said Al Hope, Creative Lead on Alien: Isolation. "This is the game in its purest form; it's you against the creature and it's against the clock. It was just fantastic watching players leave the demo with a strange mix of joy, terror and relief at simply surviving, before jumping back in and try to tackle it in a different way to beat their time!"

The PS4/Xbox One/PC title will ship on October 7 with one Survivor mode map demo, Basement. The first DLC pack featuring three new maps, a new playable character, and a variety of enemy types will launch on October 28. Four more Survivor packs will be released at regular intervals each subsequent month, each featuring new maps, new objectives, characters and game modes.

Also available to purchase from launch will be the Alien: Isolation Season Pass, offering access to all five Survivor Mode add-on packs, at up to a 25% discount. All add-on content packs are scheduled to be released by March 2015.

Watch the dev team show off some of the horror in Alien: Isolation Survivor mode, and be sure to stick around for another in a long series of in game character deaths for their #howwillyousurvive campaign.
