REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Visceral Games™, an award-winning studio
of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) announced today that Dead Space™
Extraction, the prequel to last year’s critically-acclaimed Dead Space, has gone
gold. Recently nominated for a “Best of Show - Wii” award by IGN.com at the
Gamescom trade show in Germany, Dead Space Extraction brings the series’
signature action-horror to an all new game, on an all-new platform. Dead Space
Extraction is designed from the ground up for the Wii™ and will hit stores
nationwide on September 29.
Gamers who pre-order at participating retailers will receive a special code that
unlocks four of the game’s 10 unique challenge modes*. These intense,
pulse-pounding difficulty levels pit players alone, or co-operatively with a
friend against the Necromorph horde, competing for high scores and stylish
kills. Players who do not pre-order the game must play through each chapter to
earn and unlock the challenge modes.
Nintendo of America Vice President of Licensing, Steve Singer said, “We are
excited that Visceral Games is bringing the next installment of the Dead Space
franchise to the Wii. Dead Space Extraction is shaping up to be an outstanding
game and this high-quality, mature title will be a great addition to the Wii
line up.”
Dead Space fans can play the game this weekend at Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle,
WA from September 4th – 7th. Gamers that come by the EA booth (#432) will be
among the first to experience the terror.
Dead Space Extraction tells the story of four space colonists stranded on the
Aegis VII mining colony in the furthest regions of deep space. The game
introduces Lexine, an important new heroine to the Dead Space universe. As the
crew fall victim to a mysterious contagion aboard the ship, it quickly becomes
clear that protecting Lexine is their only hope for survival. The game features
the highly polished, cinematic action experience that the Visceral Games team is
known for.
