‘Dead Space’ dressed for Halloween outing

Xbox 360 and PS3 sci-fi survial horror

Electronic Arts has confirmed that their spooky sci-fi survival horror game, Dead Space will receive a simultaneous release in Europe and North America on Xbox 360 and PS3 on October 31st.

Dead Space has been described as ‘terrifying’, ‘claustrophobic’ and ‘horrific’, so Halloween will be the ideal time to attempt to scare us out of our wits.

In Dead Space, players step into the role of engineer Isaac Clarke – an ordinary man on a seemingly routine mission to fix the communications systems aboard a deep space mining ship. It is not long before Isaac awakes to a living nightmare when he learns that the ship's crew has been ravaged by a vicious alien infestation. He must fight through the dead silence and darkness of deep space to stay alive.

“Survival horror is about experiencing a terrifying, and deeply personal fiction,” said Executive Producer Glen Schofield. “Dead Space is being developed as a single-player thriller that delivers the chilling, claustrophobic feeling of being isolated in a dark environment, while being stalked by some truly horrific enemies. Halloween is the perfect time for EA to deliver the fear and anxiety that will keep survival horror fans up playing all night.”
