Sit down, brace yourself and make sure your headphones aren't on too loud - the new Alien: Covenant trailer is here and it's full of face-suckers, screaming and Xenomorphs on the attack.

preview for Alien: Covenant official trailer

Subtitled with the warning "the path to paradise begins in hell" (sure...), the first thing we see is the crew aboard the titular colony ship Covenant.

They think what they come across is just some unexplored nirvana. Then, they realise it's actually a menacing, Xenomorphs-filled realm with only one surviving resident: Michael Fassbender's android David.

Sir Ridley Scott's Covenant will act as a direct sequel to 2012's Prometheus, and also brings back Noomi Rapace as Elizabeth Shaw and Guy Pearce as Peter Weyland.

They're joined by newcomers Katherine Waterston, Demián Bichir, Billy Crudup, James Franco and Danny McBride.

And you only have to wait until 12 May to see it.
