New Dead Space 2 Details Emerge

by Asim Tanvir on December 10, 2009

Just a few days ago EA and Visceral Games officially announced Dead Space 2 but not many details about the sequel were released. Well that has all changed today as the new issue of Game Informer has revealed key details about the new game.

Dead Space 2 will be set three years after the event of the original and once again players will take the role of Isaac Clarke. The events that took place upon the Ishimura have left Isaac scarred and haunted, can’t say I blame him really! In the meanwhile, the necromorphs have resurfaced again and this time they are unleashing their terror upon a large space station known as the Sprawl. This new necromorph outbreak, once again, has something to do with the marker and the relevant authorities have no other choice but to turn to (uh huh, you guessed it) Isaac, poor guy! Oh and guess what?! Our hero will actually talk this time too, I guess three years was enough for him to gain his power of speech back!

Asides from creepy new monsters and cooler zero gravity sections, the detail that will catch the most attention will be the addition of online multiplayer. Not much is known about the multiplayer at this stage but Game Informer did say that gamers will be able strategically dismember their friends. Nice! I get the feeling we might see Dead Space “horde” mode or even a mode where you get to play as the necromorphs, sort of like Left 4 Dead.
