Dead Space Extraction hits Sept. 29

Today EA announced that Dead Space Extraction, the Wii exclusive prequel to Dead Space, will arrive in North American stores on Sept. 29. Europeans can expect it on Oct. 2.

Dead Space Extraction is an on-rails first-person shooter set before the events of Dead Space. It offers multiple paths for gamers to explore, both on their own and with a friend via two-player co-op. Also, Extraction introduces “an important new heroine to the Dead Space universe.”

Hopefully the sci-fi horror of Dead Space will transition smoothly to a FPS on rails. If so, we might have a new House of the Dead, except this time in space.
