When EA announced Dead Space was coming to the Wii a while back no one was sure what to expect. Would it be the same story as the PS3 and 360 versions, or would it be entirely different? Now we have our answers. EA has revealed the new Dead Space for the Wii entitled “Extraction.”

Extraction is a prequel to the 360/PS3 Dead Space stories and will follow people trying to escape the Aegis VII mining colony. The game will introduce a new female character who will be the key to the crew’s survival. The game is set to feature new puzzles, weapons, enemies, characters, and the best part, co-op play.

“We could not be more excited to extend Dead Space into an experience exclusive to the Wii. Nintendo has a wonderful history in the horror genre and we are thrilled to build on that tradition with Dead Space Extraction,” said Glen Schofield, VP and General Manager of EA Redwood Shores studio. “As we were developing Dead Space, we realized that there was so much of the story going untold. Dead Space Extraction tells that story with all of the intensity, blood and gore that fans would expect.”

The game is set to hit retail this fall for the Nintendo Wii. Check out the trailer here. Stay tuned to GPU for more information!
