Well, kinda. Sigourney Weaver does not come with each and every pre-ordered copy of the game, but Ripley and the USCSS Nostromo crew, with the most of the original cast lending their voice talents, do.
Available as DLC as well, the original cast will reunite in a pair of downloadable bonus missions which are inspired by two classic Alien movie scenes. For those who choose to pre-order at GameStop will also receive the Last Survivor bonus mission, which allows players to take control of Ripley as she find her way to the Narcissus shuttle. As if you didn’t need another reason to check out Sega and Creative Assembly’s take on the Alien franchise…
Check out some screens and art from the DLC/pre-order packs along with IGN’s exclusive reveal trailer.

The worldwide video premiere of the cast can be seen in the brand new Pre-Order Trailer exclusively on IGN.com herehttp://www.ign.com/videos/2014/07/09/alien-isolation-pre-order-dlc-trailer
?Working with the original cast has been an incredible experience,? said Alistair Hope, Creative Lead on Alien: Isolation. ?It was important to us to have the key original cast members reprise their roles in order to perfectly capture the atmosphere of the movie. For some of the original cast, this is their first appearance in an Alien video game. Seeing them reprise those roles after 35 years was an unforgettable experience.?
Anyone who pre-orders the game will get a free upgrade to the Nostromo Edition, which includes the bonus content ?Crew Expendable?. Players can choose to play as one of three surviving crewmembers, only moments after Brett?s death at the jaws of the creature. As Ellen Ripley, Dallas or Parker, players can explore the Nostromo from habitation deck down through engineering, coordinating their efforts with Lambert and Ash to lure the Alien into the ship?s airlock.
In addition, consumers who pre-order at GameStop will exclusively also receive ?Last Survivor? in which players pick up the story as Ripley tries to escape on the Narcissus. On hearing the screams of Lambert and Parker, players must navigate their way back down through the Nostromo in order to activate the self-destruct sequence, before retracing their steps back to the Narcissus shuttle and their escape.
Alien: Isolation is a first-person survival horror game capturing the fear and tension evoked by Ridley Scott?s 1979 classic film. Players find themselves in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger as an unpredictable, ruthless Xenomorph is stalking and killing deep in the shadows. 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.
Alien: Isolation will be available from October 7, 2014, for Xbox One the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation?4 computer entertainment system, Windows PC, Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation?3 computer entertainment system.
