For Amanda Ripley, hearing a chain rattle or a footfall echo could give her enough time to escape from impending death. She's being hunted by the same type of Xenomorph that stalked her mom 15 years ago, and every noise heard and decision made could result in a painful end. Titled "Improvise", a new CGI trailer for Alien: Isolation shows that sharing a space with a Xenomorph can be very stressful.

While those at Gamescom can get an early look at the game now, Alien: Isolation will be available on October 7th for the Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC.

“Discover the true meaning of fear in Alien: Isolation, a survival horror set in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger. Fifteen years after the events of Alien™, Ellen Ripley’s daughter, Amanda enters a desperate battle for survival, on a mission to unravel the truth behind her mother’s disappearance. As Amanda, you will navigate through an increasingly volatile world as you find yourself confronted on all sides by a panicked, desperate population and an unpredictable, ruthless Alien.
