With Sonic Boom getting so much press another game published by SEGA has been all but overshadowed at this point. Alien: Isolation has been getting DLC occasionally.

A press release from SEGA and a couple of screenshots have been made public to help announce the content. You can see both below.
ALIEN: ISOLATION ’S SECOND ADD-ON PACK, ‘TRAUMA’, OUT TODAY
“I’ve broken the rules but I’ve always known what’s the right thing to do. Until now.” – Lingard
SEGA announced today that ‘Trauma’, the second of five Survivor Mode add-on packs for Alien: Isolation™, is now available to download.
In ‘Trauma’, players can enter three new Survivor Mode maps as Sevastopol’s medical officer, Dr Lingard. Having a crisis of conscience and feeling responsible for bringing the creature on board, she holds herself liable for the death and destruction carved out across the station as the Alien is let loose on its inhabitants. Concerned her research on the creature could fall in to the wrong hands, she sets out to destroy her data and do what she can to help those survivors in need of medical attention. As Lingard, players are challenged to compete across three new Survivor Mode maps, ‘Reoperation’, ‘Crawl Space’ and ‘Overrun’. With a limited load-out of small arms and distraction devices, the station’s Working Joe androids on aggressive alert and the Alien hunting in the shadows, taking a top-tier time on the global leaderboards has never been more challenging.
‘Trauma’ is the second Survivor Mode add-on pack for Alien: Isolation and is available to download today via online marketplaces for all available platforms. Priced at MSRP $7.99/€6.99/£5.59, each add-on pack features a new playable character alongside a mix of new maps, objectives and game modes to challenge even the most proficient player. Players wishing to explore every inch of Sevastopol Station can take advantage of the Alien: Isolation Season Pass, offering access to all five Survivor Mode add-on packs at up to a 25% discount. All add-on packs are scheduled to be released by March 2015.
Alien: Isolation is an award-winning first-person survival horror game with numerous Game of the Year nominations and critical accolades commending the return to form of Ridley Scott’s terrifying creature.

Underpowered and underprepared, you must scavenge resources, improvise solutions and use your wits, not just to succeed in your mission, but to simply stay alive.

Does Sega have any non-Sonic games other than this on its mind at the moment. I’m sick of Sonic’s spiky ass right now.
They have Total War, Football Manager and Project Diva f 2nd for the West. RGG0, Shining Resonance and Phantasy Star Nova for Japan.
I believe the Football Manager series is pretty successful. I don’t play it myself, as I have no interest in managing 11 grown men kicking an inflated sheep’s bladder around a lawn for 90 minutes, but I know some people who do, and they sink endless hours into those games.
But then I guess it isn’t that hard to write what is essentially a point-and-click interface hiding what is, for want of a better analogy, a massive Excel workbook 🙂
That’s funny. I feel the exact same way.
I was going to get the prequel due to believing there wouldn’t be a sequel but this is fine.
I am really wishing Sega would dust off the shelves and pick up where they left off with the Phantasy Star series by making some real single player games of the series with epic adventures. I never really cared for the MMORPG sequels and I have always felt a hunger for the primarily story-based style games to come back. As pixelated and simplistic as it is, I still awe over the original Phantasy Star. I love that story to bits and I would definitely pay for a spiritual Phantasy Star V!
Phantasy Star Nova is exactly that. A single player, story driven game but with the gameplay and combat based on PSO2. Not a bad choice to make, PSO2 had quite good combat for that type of game.
Good to see more coverage of Alien Isolation. The game deserves more publicity. Great game, it’s unfortunate that SEGA will be more known for releasing Sonic Boom, than they will be for making Isolation.
