Dead Space 3 formally confirmed

Yes, we knew it has been in production since the second game hit the shelves last year, but EA have officially confirmed the existence of the survival space horror game: Dead Space 3. The game will be available for the PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360 from 2013.

Dead Space 3 brings Isaac Clarke and merciless soldier John Carver on a journey across space to discover the source of the Necromorph outbreak. Crash-landed on a frozen planet, facing deadlier evolved enemies and the brutal elements, Isaac can choose to team up, not only for his own survival, but for that of mankind’s. Play together with a friend or go it alone as Isaac Clarke using the seamless new drop in, drop out co-op functionality. Each mode offers unique story elements and gameplay.

With drop in and drop out playability it gives the player chance to go it alone but if they do get stuck, help is at hand. Dead Space 3 will be available on PC and Xbox 360 as well as the PlayStation 3 from next year.
