Alien: Isolation Getting Three New Maps, Another Playable Character Next Week

Sega announced today that the first of five Alien: Isolation post-release expansions, Corporate Lockdown, will be released on October 28. It features three "challenging and terrifying" maps for Isolation's Survivor Mode, and will sell for $8. It's included with the $30 Isolation DLC pass.

The three new maps included with Corporate Lockdown are Severance, Scorched Earth, and Loose Ends. The expansion also marks the arrival of Gauntlet Mode, a new mode that challenges players to complete all three maps back-to-back without dying once.

A new playable character, Seegson Executive Ransome, is also featured in Corporate Lockdown.

The next four Isolation DLC packs are called Trauma, Safe Haven, Lost Contact, and The Trigger. Each features a new playable character, as well as new maps and modes. Specific release dates for those expansions were not announced, but Sega says all should arrive by March 2015.
