Dead Space 2 Prequel Game Announced

July 7, 2010 7:00 PM

Dead Space Ignition will "reveal the events leading up to Dead Space 2" in an "interactive comic-style story with three unique hacking mini games; Hardware Crack, Trace Route and System Override."

The downloadable title will be released this fall on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade ahead of Dead Space 2's January 25, 2011 release date.

"Dead Space Ignition is the first of many exciting game extensions we have planned for the launch of Dead Space 2," said Steve Papoutsis, executive producer on Dead Space franchise in the press release. "The interactive comic-style game will give Dead Space fans a unique perspective on the events leading up to Dead Space 2, but will also introduce the storyline to a brand-new audience of gamers."

Ignition is being co-developed by Visceral Games and Sumo Digital.

I hate prequels, they allways have better gear and gadgets then in the first game. So you end up asking yourself, where did all this cool stuff dissapear too when I played the first game.

    What? I thought your first post made sense too. In the prequel they have better things than in the first game which is set later.
