EA Extracts More Dead Space News

Electronic Arts has today released initial details of Dead Space Extraction, a prequel to the 2008 action-horror, due to arrive on Wii this Autumn.

The game, which was first confirmed during a recent conference call held by the EA board, has been built from the ground up for the Nintendo home console to include a motion-based control system and a first-person perspective.  Charting the events of a new protagonist as she and a band of survivors try to escape the Necromorphs on the deep space mining colony of Aegis VII, Dead Space Extraction unveils some of the events that lead to Issac Clarke's fight for survival on the USG Ishimura.

“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.”

Expect more details on Dead Space Extraction in the coming months.
