Today, EA has officially announced a downloadable prequel to their upcoming sequel, Dead Space 2. Dead Space Ignition, as it is titled, will take place on “The Sprawl” several hours before the events of Dead Space 2, offering players an insight into what has led to the station’s Necromorph outbreak. From the sounds of the press release, Ignition will be more akin to a puzzle game than the third-person shooter one might expect stating “Dead Space Ignition combines an interactive comic-style story with three unique hacking mini games; Hardware Crack, Trace Route and System Override. Each game offers a fun and satisfying arcade experience that will challenge players with puzzles and twitch gameplay.”  While the gameplay might seem like a strange choice, the story sounds like it will be quite good. The press release states that “Dead Space Ignition features a unique “Choose Your Own Adventure” type narrative, allowing players to survive the horrific Necromorph outbreak in multiple ways. The game offers four unique endings and upon completion of each one, players will be rewarded with unlocks including an exclusive suit, all of which can be used by Isaac Clarke in Dead Space 2 when the game releases on Jan 25, 2011.” Dead Space Ignition is set for download this fall for the PS3 and Xbox 360 and sounds like it’ll be a good time for all those who just can’t get enough of Dead Space’s story. |
