Dead Space to get an early release

Today is a red letter day for gaming. For the first time in gaming history (Well, gaming history that I can recall. Give me a break; I’m writing this while I’m at work.) a title’s release date has been pushed forward. EA announced today that their upcoming survival horror game Dead Spacewill be arriving in the states on Oct 21, a full 10 days before its original Halloween release date. European consoles will get the game on Oct 24. Unfortunately, European PC gamers are getting the short end of the stick with the original Halloween release date.

While Halloween is a more fitting time for a spooky survival-horror game, I’ll gladly take a game ahead of time.

Hit the jump for the full press release.
