The title says it all: EA announced a forthcoming sequel to Dead Space, their popular sci-fi/horror shooter. Details are scarce at this point. We know protagonist Isaac Clarke will return, as will the Necromorphs, but that’s about it.

Check out the official announcement below. Yes, it really is this short.

“We’re thrilled to jump back into the series, making the next chapter in Isaac’s journey,” added Steve Papoutsis, Executive Producer of Dead Space 2. “The infection continues to spread throughout space and our hero Isaac Clarke is the only person able to contain it. There are still loads of Necromorphs that need killing. In Dead Space 2, not everything is exactly as it seems. Expect plot twists that will surprise you and a huge cast of twisted, disgusting monsters that are sure to scare the daylights out of you.”

As usual, we’ll update with more info when it is available. In the meantime, why not check out our first HCG Versus Mode feature, discussing the pros and cons of Dead Space? If you’re still somehow on the fence about it, perhaps our article finally persuade you one way or the other. Oh, one last thing: the image above is the first Dead Space 2 teaser image. The weird writing on the bottom is the Unitarian language, which in this case translates to “the nighmare is over but it will not end.” Weird, right?
