A demo of Visceral Games’ Dead Space 2 will be released for Xbox 360 and PS3 later this month, EA has announced.
In the Dead Space 2 demo, players will take engineer Isaac Clarke on an adventure through the Church of Unitology, an expectedly “safe” place that quickly becomes dangerous and deadly, during the Necromorph outbreak on the Sprawl.
Players will also have access to a variety of new tools that Isaac can use to fight Necromorphs, including the new Javelin gun, updated stasis recharge mechanic and enhanced telekinesis ability. Players will also have the chance to experience the advanced suit, equipped with jets that will allow Isaac full 360 degree control in Zero-G space.
“The holidays are a great time to enjoy all forms of entertainment, and we can’t wait to give horror and action adventure gamers a taste of what awaits them in Dead Space 2,” said Steve Papoutsis, executive producer of the Dead Space franchise. “Releasing the demo five weeks before launch will not only re-connect players with our hero Isaac Clarke, but will also give them the opportunity to experience firsthand various jaw-dropping scenarios. It’s gonna be awesome.”
The Dead Space 2 demo will be available for download December 21 on Xbox LIVE Marketplace worldwide and the PlayStation Network in North America. The demo will be available December 22 on PlayStation Network in Europe.
The full game will be released January 28, 2011 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
