Alien: Isolation’s ‘Corporate Lockdown’ DLC launches next week

Alien: Isolation‘s first of five planned add-on packs, Corporate Lockdown, is set to go live next week, bringing with it three new maps for Survivor mode and a new playable character, Sega has announced.

This DLC adds three new maps for the game’s Survivor Mode that offer new perspective on the events on-board Sevastopol Station in the days before the arrival of the Weyland-Yutani team. There’s also a new playable character, a unique set of objectives, and a new game mode.

“In ‘Corporate Lockdown’, Seegson Executive Ransome has learnt that he has been abandoned by his paymasters,” Sega explains. “Knowing that the Torrens is on the way, he decides to make his escape and hitch a ride on board, taking decoded Nostromo data with him. However, while escaping he wants to tie up a few loose ends…”

The three maps (“Severance,” “Scorched Earth,” and “Loose Ends”) can also be played in the new Gauntlet Mode, which challenges players to top the leaderboards by completing all three challenge maps back-to-back without dying in the quickest time possible.

Corporate Lockdown will be available from October 28 for $7.99, or as a free download if you already own the game’s season pass.

This will be followed by four more packs called ”Trauma,” “Safe Haven,” “Lost Contact,” and “The Trigger” that all contain new maps, game modes, objectives, and new playable characters. The last of these four add-ons will be released by March 2015.
