The latest clip starts off calmly enough, with the cast of characters landing in what they assume to be paradise, but quickly turns very, very dark indeed.
It was supposed to drop today (Wednesday) but was rushed out overnight following a HD leak, reports claim.
It follows a five-minute prologue scene that was teased online just last week.
Watch above.
The xenomorphs seen towards the end of the clip are seemingly the only living creatures on the entire planet – giving a strong indication of just how fearsome they are.
In fact, by the sight of this clip, it’s hard to envisage any of the characters surviving until the end.
Alien: Covenant is directed by Ridley Scott, with a cast including Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, James Franco, Noomi Rapace, Guy Pearce and Danny McBride amongst others.
As for whether we’ll ever see Sigourney Weaver in the franchise again, she initially seemed keen – although it now seems doubtful.
“There is an incredible script by Neill (Blomkamp),” she said last year. “I didn’t want to do a fifth one. I thought going to earth wouldn’t be fun. I got this script that was amazing and gives fans everything they’re looking for and innovates in ways that became part of the world for me.
“It’s a great story and it’s satisfying to me to give this woman an ending.”
Alien Covenant, meanwhile, is out on May 19.
