Scavenge The Enemy-Infested Territory Alone Or Team Up With A Friend
To Experience The Thrills — And The Chills — Together
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Cut to the heart of deep space terror as Visceral Games, an Electronic
Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) studio, today announced that the critically
acclaimed Dead Space™ series will return with Dead Space 3.
Delivering award-winning suspense, horror, action and audio, Dead
Space 3 will send players on an exhilarating and hair-raising new
adventure in the dead of winter 2013. After crash-landing on a hostile
new planet known as Tau Volantis, hero Isaac Clarke discovers that this
planet could be the key to ending the Necromorph infestation. In his
violent hunt for answers, Isaac must battle subzero, icy conditions and
deadly, highly-evolved enemies including all-new Necromorphs, gigantic
boss creatures and even misguided zealot humans. Fortunately, Isaac is
not alone. Players can choose to team-up with a friend anytime in the
game with the fully integrated drop-in/drop-out co-op feature. Players
that choose to take down the terror together will experience additional
story details and gameplay mechanics only found when playing as the
co-op character, Earthgov Sergeant John Carver.
Steve Papoutsis, Vice President and General Manager of Visceral Games
and Executive Producer on Dead Space 3, said "Dead Space 3
will deliver action and horror on a scale that far exceeds anything
we've done before. The game will range from the depths of space and
tight, indoor corridors to a harsh new planet with explorable
environments that offer new challenges. For fans that love playing alone
in the dark, they still can have the classic Dead Space
experience that makes the franchise so unique. Likewise, players that
want to share that immersive and intense experience with a friend now
have that option thanks to the addition of co-op. Either way, the action
is intense, the adventure is breathtaking, and the thrills are
unforgettable."
Since the series debut in 2008, Dead Space has been one of EA's
top rated wholly-owned intellectual properties. With close to 100
industry awards and an average critic score of 89*, Dead Space is
loved by videogame fans the world over. In 2009, EA launched Dead
Space Extraction, a prequel to the original Dead Space that

games of 2011 by Seth Schiesel from the New York Times' and has
