Really? Are people really surprised by this? Thestory goesthat Reuters of all places has “let slip” the fact that Visceral’sDead Space 2is going to be released next year. EA has never officially confirmed the game, but we all knew it was coming, and I think very few people didn’t expect to see it next year.
In any case, the relatively decent sci-fi shooter has been “confirmed” thusly: “Electronic Arts has a pair of horror offerings for gamers. The publisher recently shippedDead Space: Extractionfor Wii, which is a prequel to last fall’s Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC hit.Dead Space 2is in development for next year.”
With the amount of media EA released forDead Space, and withDead Space: Extractionreleased for the Wii, there’s no doubt that the publisher wants a franchise to come out of this, despite the less-than-blockbuster performance of the original game. So, the question is this: Do you want moreDead Spacenext year, or was one (or two) already enough for you?
