Alien: Isolation DLC ‘Corporate Lockdown’ Throws Down the Gauntlet

The first DLC pack for Alien: Isolation, Corporate Lockdown, brings with it new characters, new gameplay modes, and a whole slew of new opportunities to get slaughtered by a Xenomorph. Sounds fun!

In Corporate Lockdown, players control a Seegson Executive named Ransome; Ransome's a little bit seedy, a little more unethical, and if you don't get him out of the Sevatspol Station before the Xenomorph finds him, he's going to be a little bit dead. As Ransome, you'll sneak your way across three new maps, Severance, Scorched Earth, and Loose Ends, while trying to figure out why the people signing your checks have suddenly decided to leave you for dead.

Those who survive can compare their speeds and scores on the leaderboards, which will rank players based on how quickly they complete each area and how many special objectives they complete. Those who are really brave can try their hand at the Gauntlet Mode, which challenges players to complete all three Corporate Lockdown maps in a row. Die just once and it's game over, man, game over.

Corporate Lockdown arrives Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PC on Oct. 28 for $7.99. Season Pass owners get this, along with four additional Survivor packs at a 25 percent discount for the bundle. All DLC is expected to arrive by March 2015.
