14 DAY TRIAL // Developer Creative Assembly and publisher SEGA have just announced Alien: Isolation has passed 1 million copies sold on all platforms. Alien: Isolation was launched last year in October on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One and it looks like it needed about 3 months to reach the 1 million milestone.
It has been one of the few games in the Alien franchise that received positive reviews from both media and players, which is one of the main reasons it still sells well enough.
“It has been fantastic to watch the reviews come in and read of the reactions of players, hidden in the bowels of Sevastopol Station, terrified to make the next move.
“We set out to make the Alien game we had always wanted to play and from these figures it seems we also succeeded in making the Alien game another million wanted to play. We hope many more gamers enjoy Alien: Isolation in 2015,” said Creative Lead, Alistair Hope.
One of the best games in the Alien franchise
For newcomers, Alien: Isolation is one of the best adaptations of Ridley Scott's movie. The game plays like a first-person survival horror genre, and just like in the movie, the action is set aboard a decommissioned trading station in the fringes of space.
As officer Ripley, underpowered and underprepared, you will have to scavenge resources and improvise solutions to succeed in your mission and stay alive.
“Fox is enormously pleased with how both SEGA and Creative Assembly have realized their homage to Ridley Scott’s iconic film Alien. The project represents a paradigm shift in what is possible in the arena of licensed games,” said Michael Doyle, vice president of interactive games for Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products.
