Dead Space 2 Severed Coming March 1st February 23, 2011

The first major single player campaign DLC for Dead Space 2 finally has a release date.

As previously reported, the game stars two of the main characters from the PS3/Wii rail-shooter Dead Space Extraction (Gabe Weller and Lexine) and you’ll be able to play as Gabe in this single player campaign.  You can also expect some familiar enemies from Dead Space that weren’t in Dead Space 2, like the twitch necromorph, to make an appearance..

I’m plenty excited to play this expansion.  The story in Dead Space Extraction was very well fleshed out and because of that the tension was much higher.   The four main characters, as well as the secondary characters, were all well written, and their voice actors’ performances capped this off (and it sounds like they’re returning).  I want to play this just to find out what happened to the old gang.

Dead Space 2 Severed is coming March 1st, 2011 for the Xbox 360 and the PS3 (March 2nd Internationally).  It will cost $6.99 US or 560 MS points.  You will need a copy of Dead Space 2 to play.
