Fan-Made Co-Op Mod for ‘Alien: Isolation’ Announced
So in case you were under a rock for the past month, Alien: Isolation 2 is indeed happening. And what better way to get yourself psyched up for the game than to jump into the original game, but with the added benefit of co-op? That’s right, modder Dropper7894 is currently working on a mod for the PC version of Alien: Isolation that allows two friends to soak up the fear. Despite there being no release date just yet, the modder has shared the first gameplay video over on the r/alienisolation subreddit of the mod in action.
According to Dropper7894, they’ve been working on this mod for the past few weeks, with the ultimate goal to turn Survivor Mode into a co-op experience with your friend. For those in need of a refresher, Alien: Isolation‘s Survivor Mode sees you working to escape the small confines of Sevastopol Station while avoiding the relentless Xenomorph and hostile NPCs.
The redditor has created a Discord channel to keep those interested in the mode up to date on the mod’s progress, as well as to answer any questions.
And seeing as it’s the Steam Summer Sale, you can grab Alien: Isolation right now with a generous 70% discount. You can also grab the game on the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.
Meanwhile, Alien: Isolation 2 is currently in development for Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series, with the Nintendo Switch 2 to follow soon.
Thanks to DSOGaming for highlighting this.
For those keen on following up on our mid-year best-of list for video games, iam8bit and Yacht Club Games are teaming up in a new collection for Mina the Hollower, which not only brings the game’s iconic soundtrack by Jake Kaufman and Yuzo Koshiro to vinyl, but also offers fans some cool merchandise.
Available for pre-order now at iam8bit, the Mina the Hollower Collection includes the soundtrack on 3xLP ($64.99), a notebook ($19.99) and a Keychain Blind Box ($14.99). Those fans looking to have it all can pick up the entire collection in a vinyl bundle with the Mina the Hollower: Bone Up Bundle Edition. All products are available for pre-order today through August 17, with plans to ship in Q4 2026.
The Mina the Hollower vinyl soundtrack is pressed on rich Velvet Purple Splatter Vinyl, and features retro-inspired zoetrope artwork designed by Nimit Malava. The soundtrack also comes with a pair of special 3D glasses that enhances the cover art, paying homage to the retro nostalgia of the old-school, chip-tastic tracks composed by Yacht Club Games’ Jake Kaufman and Yuzo Koshiro.
iam8bit also offers up a series of collectible keychains as part of a Blind Box set. Those who purchase will receive one of six randomized Mina designs rendered in high-quality, squishy PVC rubber, with a Secret Chase Rare in the mix for some lucky buyers. Keychains are available to purchase individually or bundled in a set of three, and purchasing the bundle guarantees three unique keychains.
Lastly, there’s the Mina the Hollower Notebook, a 240-page notebook that replicates Mina’s in-game journal and is brought to life in a forest green faux-leather, with beautiful gold embellishments on its cover.
As mentioned, for completionists, you can grab the entire collection in the Mina the Hollower: Bone Up Bundle Edition, ($89.99). The bundle comes with the soundtrack, one Keychain Blind Box and Notebook.
And if you haven’t jumped into Mina the Hollower, you can find the game on PC via Steam and GOG, PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2.
