We had earlier reported that EA had a Dead Space game in the making which would be exclusively for the Wii. Now EA has officially revealed Dead Space Extraction which is a prequel to Dead Space, telling the story of how Isaac Clarke got to where he did in the original game.
Dead Space Extraction is a game in which a few space colonists are trying to escape the infection that has plagued the Aegis VII mining colony. The game has a new heroine who must be protected to ensure the survival of the remaining uninfected population of the mining crew. Dead Space Extraction features new weapons, characters and enemies. The game also introduces puzzles and co-op multiplayer gameplay.
“We could not be more excited to extend Dead Space into an experience exclusive to the Wii. Nintendo has a wonderful history in the horror genre and we are thrilled to build on that tradition with Dead Space Extraction,” remarked Glen Schofield, VP and General Manager of EA Redwood Shores studio. “As we were developing Dead Space, we realized that there was so much of the story going untold. Dead Space Extraction tells that story with all of the intensity, blood and gore that fans would expect.”
Dead Space Extraction is an action horror title developed by the EA Redwood Shores studio. The game fuses the versatile control of the Wii remote with the chaotic first person for an action-packed horror experience. The game will be available exclusively for the Wii and is scheduled to be released in fall 2009.
