So, I can confirm today that we do plan to release both Crew Expendable and Last Survivor at a later date and we'll have more details for you guys on that shortly."It was announced yesterday that everyone who pre-orders the game will get a free upgrade to the ‘Nostromo Edition’, which includes the Crew Expendable side mission.

Set during the film's finale, players will take on the role of Ripley as she tries to activate the Nostromo's self-destruct sequence and reach the Narcissus shuttle in order to escape.Alien: Isolation will be available from October 7th on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
