EA’s Dead Space enthralled us in 2008, and a sequel was suspected to be in development. Earlier we even reported that Dead Space 2 was looking like more and more of a reality. Now EA has gone ahead and officially confirmed the presence of a sequel. Visceral Games has announced the sequel titled Dead Space 2.
The game will again follow hero Isaac Clark in another heart-pounding and thrilling action-horror experience. The sequel will even have new tools, new characters and Zero-G environments.
“Like so many gamers worldwide, we love the Dead Space franchise and are very excited to announce a new game in the series,” Nick Earl, Senior VP and Group General Manager at EA explained. “Visceral Games is quickly becoming known for delivering high-quality, action-packed games. Dead Space 2 is on target to deliver a jaw-dropping experience gamers won’t soon forget.”
“We’re thrilled to jump back into the series, making the next chapter in Isaac’s journey. The infection continues to spread throughout space and our hero Isaac Clarke is the only person able to contain it. There are still loads of necromorphs that need killing!” Steve Papoutsis, Executive Producer of Dead Space 2 exclaimed. “In Dead Space 2, not everything is exactly as it seems. Expect plot twists that will surprise you and a huge cast of twisted, disgusting monsters that are sure to scare the daylights out of you.”
Dead Space 2 is in development for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, but the publisher hasn’t revealed a time frame for the game’s release.
