Three years after the events of the first game, engineer Isaac Clarke awakens with no memory of these three years on a space station called The Sprawl. The resulting Dead Space 2 not only gave us more horror, but ultimately ended up as one of the scariest titles of the generation. It was no surprise that EA and Visceral got right to work on the sequel after Dead Space‘s critical acclaim. Combining elements of John Carpenter’s The Thing and Paul WS Anderson’s Event Horizon, and putting it all into a video game made for some truly entertaining (and horrifying) moments for PS3 and Xbox 360 fans. The Dead Space 2 team is hard at work right now, and we’re focused on shipping a phenomenal multiplayer experience for all of the fans.Visceral’s Dead Space was a match made in survival horror heaven.

On the other hand, the Necromorphs must stalk, trap, and devour the Sprawl Security Team and prevent them from completing their mission.ĭead Space 2 multiplayer will also feature an entire level progression metagame in which players will unlock new weapons, suit skins, weapon upgrades, as well as gameplay characteristics that will build on the core mechanics of each Necromorph. In DS2 MP, the Sprawl Security Team will have specific, unique objectives across five different maps which will be focused on eradicating the Necromorph forces and restoring safety across the Sprawl.

Players will be able to play as four different Necromorph characters, each with its own unique gameplay style: The Pack, The Lurker, The Spitter, and the newly famous Puker. Not only will players have the chance to play as the Sprawl Security Team, but they will have a chance to see the other side of the coin and play as the evil Necromorph forces. Dead Space 2 will feature four-versus-four gameplay with an objective based multiplayer, across five unique locations throughout the Sprawl. That’s right, Dead Space 2 will offer its own unique take on multiplayer, which is intensely gruesome and completely grounded in the Dead Space universe and fiction. Hello PlayStation community! The Dead Space 2 team is excited to bring you something for the first time in the history of the franchise - the ability to strategically dismember your friends in our all new multiplayer feature!
