First off, that image isn't official art for Dead Space 2. Secondly, Dead Space 2's official announcement has been coming for some time now. Whether it's the job posting on LinkedIn, the teaser image from an 'unnamed' horror sequel in OPM, or the recently released teaser ink blot on Dead Space's official Twitter account, the announcement of Dead Space 2's existence was on the horizon. And that horizon is today.
Dead Space 2 will be more of what you love from the series: more heart-pounding thrills, more Zero-G exploration goodness, and more gruesome (I really mean awesome) limb dismemberment. And this time survival isn't all Isaac is worried about, this time he calls the shots. Whatever that means, exactly.
"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."
Little else is known about the game at this time. Stuff like when exactly we should be expecting more necromorph slayin'.
