Dead Space Ignition Announced

Electronic Arts today announced Dead Space Ignition, a Dead Space 2 prequel in the works at Visceral Games and due to be available in Fall 2010 on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and the PlayStation Network. Dead Space Ignition combines an interactive comic-style story with three unique hacking mini games; Hardware Crack, Trace Route and System Override. The prequel features a unique "Choose Your Own Adventure" type narrative, allowing players to survive the horrific Necromorph outbreak in multiple ways. The game offers four unique endings and upon completion of each one, players will be rewarded with unlocks including an exclusive suit, all of which can be used by Isaac Clarke in Dead Space 2 when the game releases on January 25, 2011.
