LOS ANGELES, Jun 14, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Blood-thirsty necromorphs attack and YOU must save mankind! At
the Electronic Arts Press Briefing during the Electronic Entertainment
Expo (E3), Visceral Games(TM), an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS)
studio today revealed the highly anticipated launch date for Dead
Space(TM) 2. The action horror game will be in stores on January 25 in
North America and January 28 in Europe. Dead Space 2 pushes the
limits of action, horror and terror. After waking up in a sprawling,
dark and mysterious location, Dead Space 2 hero Isaac Clarke
again finds himself thrust into the middle of a massive necromorph
invasion. Surrounded by the screeching cries of undead monsters and the
haunting drum of echoing noises, Isaac plots a course through abandoned
building after creepy abandoned building. Dead Space 2 is set to
deliver best-in-class sound design, visuals and action sequences.
In Dead Space 2, engineer Isaac Clarke makes his return in a
blood-curdling new adventure on an all-new space installation known as
"The Sprawl." The lone survivor of a horrific alien infestation, Isaac
finds himself confronting a catastrophic new nightmare. Battling
dementia, Isaac will do whatever it takes to save himself and dominate
the relentless enemy onslaughts. Equipped with a new arsenal of tools to
dismember the necromorphs, Isaac faces the challenge head-on. Players
will see Isaac fight bigger, scarier and more epic battles that will
keep them on the edge of their seats.
"The story of Isaac, the necromorphs and the whole Dead Space fiction
has much more to reveal. Dead Space 2 adds another dimension
to the complex world and characters that inhabit this universe," said
Executive Producer, Steve Papoutsis. "We were honored and humbled by the
response to Dead Space and Dead Space Extraction, and we
could not be more excited to add another chapter to the annals of the
horror genre."
