With its deadly stealth mechanics and horrific atmosphere, Alien: Isolation by Creative Assembly is well remembered by horror aficionados as one of the most realistic recreations of the movie world's extraterrestrial monster. Many people believe Alien: Isolation to be one of the best video game adaptations of the Alien franchise. Fans will be ecstatic to learn that the sci-fi horror will be available on mobile devices seven years after it was first launched on PC and console.

Alien: Isolation will be released on iOS and Android devices on December 16, according to a new video posted to the Sega America YouTube account. The minute-long teaser features fragments from the game in traditional horror style, including flashes of the famed Xenomorph hunter and unfriendly robot slaves that roam the Sevastopol space station's halls and quarters.

According to the description under the trailer, iOS users may pre-order the game now for $14.99 / €14.99 / £12.99, while Android users will be able to do so soon. It's strange that the mobile ports weren't released in time for Halloween, but the fact that it's now available on phone and tablet will please many, whether those who want to relive the dread on a smaller screen or novices who haven't yet experienced what made Alien: Isolation such a hit.

Games based on Ridley Scott or James Cameron's worlds are known for being hit-or-miss. The most recent adaptation is Aliens: Fireteam, a co-op shooter that leans more towards the second film's marine-based high-octane combat than Isolation, which went far further into the slow-burning horror. Many fans would argue that Isolation showed the world that a year after the universally panned Aliens: Colonial Marines, it was possible to make a high-quality, and above all, scary Alien game and that many fans would argue that Isolation helped show the world that it was possible to make a high-quality, and most of all, freaky Alien game.

The industry is now witnessing a golden age of horrifying games, with titles like Outlast, Prey, and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs dominating the last console generation. With Alien: Isolation about to be released on mobile devices, players will have a fresh opportunity to play a game of cat and mouse with one of cinema's most cruel and lethal monsters.

On December 16, Alien: Isolation will be released for iOS and Android. On PC, PS3, PS4, Switch, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, the game is presently available.
