Frightening Digital Expansion Pack Delivers New Adventure and New
Psychological Terror to Heroes Isaac and Carver
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Visceral Games™, an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) studio, announced
today that the world of Dead Space™ continues to evolve as hero
Isaac Clark faces horrific demons that live in deep space — and in his
own mind. Available starting today, Dead Space 3 Awakened
is a digital expansion pack for Dead Space 3 playable in single
player and co-op. In Dead Space 3 Awakened, Isaac and John Carver
face a daunting new journey — get off of Tau Volantis, repair the Terra
Nova, and get back to Earth. This next chapter brings the intensity of
the horror to new psychological heights. Since its launch last month, Dead
Space 3 has been heralded by critics worldwide for its incredible
craftsmanship in action, suspense, co-op and sound design with Game
Informer magazine calling it, "…one of the best games of this
generation."
"Dead Space 3 Awakened is some of the most creative and
unsettling content the team has ever created -- it's really going to
test gamers' psyche," said Steve Papoutsis, Vice President and General
Manager of Visceral Games and Executive Producer on Dead Space 3. "We've
put Isaac and now Carver through a lot in the franchise, but these
seasoned vets are experts when it comes to taking down the terror. We
can't wait to see who is brave enough to venture further into the
horrors that lie within Awakened."
In Dead Space 3 Awakened, gamers will experience the franchise's
darkest chapters in a story that serves as an extension of the Dead
Space 3 saga. Awakened begins when the game ends and
continues the adventure for Isaac and Carver who have been left for dead
on the devastated planet of Tau Volantis. The two men must escape from
the abandoned planet, repair the Terra Nova, and find their way back to
Earth. Only one problem: blood-thirsty Necromorphs continue to attack.
The solidarity among the two is further threatened as Isaac's madness
sets in. Haunted by images of the Unitologists, insanity takes hold and
the two survivors realize they can no longer trust each other. Unsure of
what is real, and what is a hallucination, Isaac and Carver struggle
through pulse-pounding fights and frights, trying to makes sense of
what's really happening.
Dead Space 3 Awakened is now available on the PlayStation®
Network in North America and worldwide on Origin.com for $9.99 or Xbox®
LIVE Marketplace for 800 MS Points. The pack will be available March 13
on the PlayStation Network in Europe. Dead Space 3 is now
available for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360®
video game and entertainment system with Kinect support, and the PC. The
game is rated M for Mature by the ESRB. Follow us on Twitter® at: www.twitter.com/deadspace.
