Today, iam8bit announced that they’re releasing 2014’s Alien: Isolation’s soundtrack to vinyl and cassette.
In a world filled with quick cash-in licensed games, Alien: Isolation was a gasp of fresh air. Its release in October 2014 marked a watershed moment for what inspired and faithful adaptations could look like in video games as a medium. iam8bit is beyond thrilled to announce that it’s releasing its foreboding soundtrack on vinyl ($32.99) and cassette ($19.99) for the first time. Both formats are available for pre-order starting today on iam8bit.com and are expected to ship in Q1 2025.
With its retro-futuristic visuals, subtly haunting sound design, nail-bitingly tense gameplay, and brilliantly ahead-of-its-time AI, Creative Assembly’s masterwork presented a different sort of vent-crawling survival horror, one well-suited for the world of Weyland-Yutani.
Now, a decade later, we at iam8bit are proud to celebrate Alien: Isolation’s 10th anniversary with two appropriately analog releases. This is the Alien: Isolation Cassette Soundtrack. It’s the very best of The Flight and Christian Henson’s now-legendary score, spooled up and stored on glorious magnetic tape, just the way a corporate-faithful android would like it.
Here’s the track list:
- The Torrens
- EVA
- Welcome to Sevastopol
- Axel’s Death
- San Christobal
- Quarantine
- Working Joes
- Solomon’s Galleria
- The Hunt
- The Derelict
- The Space Jockey
- Catherine Foster
- Tomorrow, Together
- It’s Here
- The Descent
- The Core
- The Beast
- Escape Sevastopol
- Airlock
- Ripley’s Theme (From Alien: Isolation)
