Switch gamers patiently waiting for the arrival of Alien Isolation, expected to launch sometime before the end of 2019, are sure to enjoy this brief teaser providing a look at the gameplay you can expect on the Switch as well as the DLC. Unlike previous game adaptations of the Alien franchise, Alien: Isolation places an emphasis on stealth and survival horror gameplay.
Gameplay and Features
Alien Isolation has already been launched on the PC, Linux, Mac, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms and was first available back in 2014. It offers a single-player action-adventure, survival-horror game based on the Alien science fiction horror film series. The game is set 15 years after the events of the 1979 Alien film and follows Amanda Ripley, daughter of Alien protagonist Ellen Ripley, as she investigates the disappearance of her mother.
The game is renowned for its atmospheric tension and the intelligent AI of the Alien, which hunts the player throughout the game. Players must use stealth tactics to avoid detection, utilizing tools and the environment to survive. The game also includes a crafting system, allowing players to create items that can help them evade or distract the Alien.
Switch Adaptation and DLC
The Nintendo Switch version of Alien Isolation promises to bring the same intense experience to a portable format. This adaptation is expected to include all previously released DLC, offering additional missions and challenges. The Switch’s unique features, such as motion controls and HD Rumble, could potentially enhance the immersive experience of the game.

The DLCs include “Crew Expendable” and “Last Survivor,” which allow players to experience events from the original 1979 film from the perspectives of different crew members. These additions provide a deeper connection to the Alien universe and offer more content for fans to enjoy.
The Switch version’s portability means that players can experience the horror of Alien Isolation on the go, making it a unique addition to the game’s availability on other platforms. The game’s graphics and performance on the Switch are also a point of interest, as developers aim to maintain the high-quality visuals and smooth gameplay that fans expect.
