EA today revealed Dead Space Extraction, an all-new chapter in the Dead Space story that has been created exclusively for Wii. The game will take advantage of the Wii’s Motion controls and will be presented in the first-person, as opposed to the third-person camera used in the first title.
Extraction is a prequel that reveals the events leading up to Isaac Clarke’s mission on the USG Ishimura in the original Dead Space game. The game will tell the story of a handful of space colonists desperately struggling to escape from a horrific infection on the Aegis VII mining colony deep in the furthest regions of space.
The prequel introduces a new heroine to the Dead Space fiction, and as the crew fall victim to a mysterious contagion aboard the ship, it becomes clear that the only hope for survival is to protect her.
“We could not be more excited to extend Dead Space into an experience exclusive to the Wii. Nintendo has a wonderful history in the horror genre and we are thrilled to build on that tradition with Dead Space Extraction,” said Glen Schofield, VP and General Manager of EA Redwood Shores studio. “As we were developing Dead Space, we realized that there was so much of the story going untold. Dead Space Extraction tells that story with all of the intensity, blood and gore that fans would expect.”
Dead Space Extraction is in development at EA Redwood Shores and is scheduled for an autumn 2009 release. There are no screens yet, but you can check out the announcement trailer right here.
