With the on rails shooter spin-off, Dead Space Extraction released this week for the Wii; EA and Visceral Games has revealed they are entering production of Dead Space 2 in the next few months via job postings on a network site stating, “The previous installment in the Dead Space franchise received numerous awards … and the same core team is in place to create an even better follow up. The game is in the later stages of pre-production, ready for production in the next few months, with many of the navigational and combat mechanics in place.” If you want to take part in the series apply here and become a Lead Combat & Controls Designer for Dead Space 2 (with the proper credentials of course).
Figured, it was practically announced last year, along with the movie tie in. Can’t wait, it is a great franchise.
