Dead Space 3 cuts to the heart of deep space terror with award-winning suspense, horror, action and audio. Slated for release in the dead of winter, players will embark on a thrilling ride through space that takes them to a hostile new planet, Tau Volantis. There, they must battle violent, subzero conditions and deadly, highly-evolved enemies including new Necromorphs, gigantic boss creatures and – for the first time in the series – a faction of Unitologist soldiers on a misguided mission.

Fortunately, they are not alone this time around. Players can choose to team-up with a friend anytime in Dead Space 3 with the fully integrated drop-in/drop-out co-op feature. Players that choose to take down the terror together will experience additional story details and gameplay mechanics only found when playing as the co-op character, Carver.

With an all-new ice planet, drop-in/drop-out co-op, and exhilarating action, Dead Space 3 will re-set the bar for epic thrills when it's released.

In Dead Space 3: Awakened, players will experience the franchise's darkest chapters as the Necromorph battles become even more gruesome and terrifying than ever before.

"With Dead Space 3 our goal was to evolve the franchise bringing in innovative new features like drop-in/drop-out co-op, weapon crafting, and an engaging atmosphere while still retaining the incredible suspense, horror, action and sound that the series is known for," said Steve Papoutsis, Vice President and General Manager of Visceral Games and Executive Producer on Dead Space 3. "Gamers are going to be thrown in and out of space, taken to a violent new ice planet and allowed to explore several different abandoned spaceships and caves. But we're not stopping there. In Dead Space 3 Awakened, gamerswill experience some of the most disturbing content they have ever seen in a Dead Space game — they are going to love it."

Dead Space 3: Awakened will be available in March on the PlayStation Network and PC via Origin.com for $9.99 and Xbox Live Marketplace for 800 MS Points.
