Play ‘Alien: Isolation’ in a Giant Alien Egg Pod at #SDCC!
If you’re planning on attending Comic Con — our annual four day-long celebration of all things geek — you may want to stop by Future US booth #241 for a chance to play Alien: Isolation. This won’t be your run-of-the-mill show floor demo, no sir, because they’re giving fans the chance to play the game while inside a massive alien egg pod. If you are attending the event, please visit the pod and report back here so I can live vicariously through you.
Comic Con kicks off on July 24, where it will run through to July 27. Feel free to check out our hub for all the Comic Con coverage you could ever want.
In related news, SEGA recently confirmed the Nostromo Edition — originally revealed as a preorder exclusive — will be made available as DLC, likely for a fee, some time after the game releases. You can see the two bonus levels it brings with it, complete with the cast from the original Alien, below.
Alien: Isolation will arrive on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 7.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
