SEGA and Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products have announced Alien: Isolation has sold over one million units worldwide since its launch.

“Fox is enormously pleased with how both SEGA and Creative Assembly have realized their homage to Ridley Scott’s iconic film Alien,” said Michael Doyle, vice president of interactive games for Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products. “The project represents a paradigm shift in what is possible in the arena of licensed games.”

Alien: Isolation has earned very high marks from various publications, including Shacknews. I have the game sitting in my backlog pile, so I’m hoping I can finally find some time to play the game. I mean, if an Alien game can sell over a million copies worldwide, then it must be good, right?

  I need to finish this, but my weak heart and shattered nerves say otherwise. I just made it to chapter 14, but can't man up enough to finish.

    Ive been playing it for the last couple nights just for an hour or so at a time. I think I'm only in chapter 4 now but the alien is officially off his leash I believe so even more pants will be shat.
    
    I was crawling through an air duct last night and my phone vibrated. scared the shit out of me. :)

      I know. The game keeps you so tense that every external distraction is amplified.

    Sega later confirmed that the Colonial Marines number was the sell through to stores, not actual units sold to customers.
