Dead Space 2 official

It was never really a secret that EA and Visceral Games were working on a sequel to 2008's horror adventure Dead Space. With the prequel Dead Space: Extraction out on Nintendo Wii, it is time for the adventures of Isaac Clarke to continue. The press release makes no mention of a release date, but expect Dead Space 2 to arrive in time for the holidays next year.

Here are couple of quotes from the press release:

"Like so many gamers worldwide, we love the Dead Space franchise and are very excited to announce a new game in the series," said Nick Earl, Senior VP and Group General Manager at EA. "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!" said Steve Papoutsis, Executive Producer of Dead Space 2. "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."

Killing dead things never gets old...
