According to an article by Reuters, Electronic Arts’ space-age horror sequel Dead Space 2 will be hitting store shelves some time in 2010.

The report itself reads, “Electronic Arts has a pair of horror offerings for gamers.”

“The publisher recently shipped Dead Space: Extraction for Wii, which is a prequel to last fall’s Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC hit. Dead Space 2 is in development for next year.”

Dead Space 2 has reared its head several times over the past few months, the most recent occasion being when the game was listed on Linkedin as having entered pre-production stages. Despite this, Visceral Games has yet to divulge any concrete information on the project.

Still, with Halloween just around the corner, why not dust off the original Dead Space while you wait?

     @8 Nah we do in the UK, it's just doesn't seem so much of a big hit as it does over there in the states.

    Dead Space, albeit a little of a cliched storyline, proved itself to be a capable horror game where the "weapons" were mining tools. Not seen that method of offence used since Kyle Katarn used a Fusion Cutter in Dark Forces lol.

    It'll be nice to see more of the same with a few more bells and whistles added

    Im probably the only one who feels this but Dead Space is one of the few games were a sequel would likely ruin it, even though the ending was a bit of a cliffhanger it feels like it was meant to end like that and a sequel would just ruin the whole game imo

    Great news. This is the reason I use PSU! I'm still yet to get the first, but along with BioShock, this is currently at the top of my list - I'm already hyping both sequels. Can't wait to see what I've been missing out on so that I can be fully prepared for the sequels.

    @8

    Your teacher's an idiot. Hallowe'en is celebrated just as much in the UK as it is in the States. I don't know about the rest of Europe, however, but you should remind your teacher that the UK is in Europe too!

     Really looking forward to this sequel.  Hopefully they change up the stasis mechanics a bit, like make it slowly recharge over time instead of having to rely on stasis docks and recharge kits.

    Great news!  Dead Space is definitely in my top 3 games of all time.  Can't wait to see what the sequel is like.
