“We’re thrilled to jump back into the series, making the next chapter in Isaac’s journey. 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!” said Steve Papoutsis, Executive Producer of Dead Space 2. “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.”
No release date has been given for the game, but signs would point to late 2010.
The Medal of Honor series has been in hiding for a few years, but EA and DICE look to bring the game back from the shadows. Today EA announced that their Los Angeles team would be developing a new single player experience in the series and DICE would be taking the multiplayer content.
