Looks like Visceral Games isn't escaping the influence of the markers just yet as work has begun on an official Dead Space sequel, announced through a job posting for a Lead Combat & Controls Designer on Linkedin. The posting reads:
"The game is in the later stages of pre-production, ready for production in the next few months, with many of the navigational and combat mechanics in place," the listing reads. "We have complete autonomy and creative control over our own decisions. The Games Label at EA is 100% committed to this IP, and has already worked on IP extensions such as comic, animated features, and action figures."
With how awesome and successful Dead Space was, it's expanding reach pointed out in the job posting above, the announcement of Dead Space 2 being in the works should come as no suprise. What's important to note is that it's coming sooner rather than later.
But while we wait to continue the story of everyman Isaac in Dead Space 2 we can at least go back to the beginning of this whole pants crapping franchise with the recently released Dead Space Extraction. A game that scored very well under the scrutinous eye of our own Dustin Pena.
