Enjoy a fleeting glimpse of Alien: Isolation gameplay on Switch in latest trailer

Alien: Isolation is a Very Good Game, and, I'd say, up there with the medium's all-time horror greats. So the fact that it'll be heading to Switch this year is something worth celebrating - and you can now do that while watching approximately 17 seconds of gameplay footage on the console (plus some cut-scenes), thanks to its latest trailer.
