Last week, SEGA revealed some very neat DLC for Alien: Isolation that’s very much worth getting excited over. The cast of the original Alien will be returning in two bonus missions — Crew Expendable and Last Survivor — that will take place on the Nostromo during the events in the first film. To the chagrin of many Alien fans, the DLC was originally revealed as a free upgrade to those who preordered it.
If you were planning on forcing yourself to head on over to your nearest games retailer to embark on the fruitless task of preordering a game, I’m happy to announce that you can stay indoors, where it’s safe and no one wants to take advantage of you.
As we expected, the DLC will be a timed preorder exclusive. SEGA plans on making it available to everyone sometime after the game ships this October, likely for a fee. As someone who’s wholly against preordering games, I’m okay with that.
Alien: Isolation will release on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 7.
