A series of dialogue lines and mission objectives relating to five potential DLC packs for Alien: Isolation have now been discovered via the game’s files. The DLCs are referred to as Tech Comms, Sci Hospital, Hab Airport, Hab Shopping Centre and Penthouse in said files. Each DLC seems to be connected to a character alluded to in the main game, these being: Ransome, Lingard, Hughes, Axel and Ricardo.

The content from the first DLC file seems to revolve around Ransome and his efforts to escape Sevastopol while collecting as much data as he can in his way out. The second DLC file references Lingard and her quest across the San Cristobal Medical Facility to destroy what’s left of her research.
If you’re curious to learn more about these, you can find further (spoilery) details here.
Previously, Creative Assembly announced up to five DLC packs as part of their Season Pass, available now for $29.99/£19.99. These packs are described as “five Survivor Mode add-on packs (…), featuring three new maps. Each map has its own set objective, challenges, a variety of enemy types to deal with, and a new playable character to discover“. This seems to correlate with the newly uncovered details above, but as of now the information in this post remains unofficial so take it with a grain of salt.
Update 13/10/14: We reached out to Creative Assembly and a studio representative provided AvPGalaxy with the following information about these files:
“We’ve got five exciting add-on packs currently in development for Alien: Isolation, the first of which is planned for release towards the end of October. The files found within the installation that you’ve seen are by no means final and may change during the course of the coming months.”
Seems to me that this was done well before the game was released and they deliberately held it back?
Yeah, they'll probably recycle a lot of the existing textures from the base install for the DLC. My guess would be that the story DLC are those files in excess of 1 GB as they would likely need to contain lots of new dialogue which can take up a bit of disc space.
or mabye episodes . I hope to see the outbreak on the station but through
The eyes of different characters (axel, waits, ) ? or as the doc en witness the chestburster come out
Foster .
Unless they do a mini campaign add on like ACM and have that idea as the first level.
It would show them going through Sevastopol's quarantine, the player gets to explore the station and interact with the citizens for awhile. Then they are apprehended by the Marshals for the Nostromo's flight recorder, Foster is suddenly complaining of chest pains, and it concludes with the alien emerging in the Operating Room.
Well, i was thinking more about the mission 10 final moments
Straight out of Dead Space.
That's a lot of add on packs. Let hope for more than just survivor maps & new models.
Indeed, the Patna from Alien 3 is the same Sulaco spaceship model from Aliens with the guns removed.
That said, ships from different eras will often get the same name again. For example, the were five sailing ships named the USS Enterprise and three aircraft carriers named USS Enterprise over the years.
This is the Medical Ship of the Station,so maybe theres a DLC about it.

EDIT: I've no idea why that came out so small. You can see it clearer on the New Concept Art thread!
Their license covers Alien 3 so it could be a possibility. ACM had a Alien 3 MP DLC level after all.
