EA have announced plans to release a demo of Dead Space 3 on January 22 across PSN and Xbox Live - a couple of weeks prior to the planned launch of the game.
"In the demo, players will be thrust into deep space terror when unwilling hero -Isaac Clarke - and all-new co-op companion - Sergeant John Carver - crash land on Tau Volantis, an unforgiving ice planet teeming with Necromorphs. Dead Space 3 takes the franchise's core elements of suspense, horror, action and sound and introduces them to all-new elements - including co-op play - that allows players to work together to take down the most ambitious Dead Space experience yet."
Xbox 360 owners will be able to access the demo a week earlier if they sign up on the official website and have an Origin account.
