UK developer The Creative Assembly has released details of Alien Isolation's minimum and recommended PC system requirements on Steam.

At a baseline level, 4GB or memory is required, as well as a dual-core processor that can push 3.2Ghz, along with a 1GB graphics card. For storage, players will need 35GB of hard drive space.

For a more superior experience, a 2GB graphics card is required, along the lines of an AMD Radeon R9 200 Series, while 8GB or memory is recommended.

Alien Isolation is a first-person survival horror game that its developers hope will recreate the sense of hopelessness from Ridley Scott's original film. The game has gone gold and will release on October 7 in the US for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

A developer video explaining the creation of the game's Xenomorph is displayed above, while beneath the specs below you can peruse a gallery of images.
