Dead Space Extracted for Wii

Electronic Arts announced today that Dead Space Extraction is in development. Being created from scratch exclusively for the Wii, the game's story will serve as a prequel to Dead Space, with Aegis VII miners struggling against an infection claiming many of the colonists. Dead Space Extraction will feature Wii Remote controls from a first-person perspective, with new weapons, characters and a co-operative multiplayer mode thrown into the mix.

"We could not be more excited to extend Dead Space into an experience exclusive to the Wii. Nintendo has a wonderful history in the horror genre and we are thrilled to build on that tradition with Dead Space Extraction," said Glen Schofield, VP and General Manager of EA Redwood Shores studio. "As we were developing Dead Space, we realized that there was so much of the story going untold. Dead Space Extraction tells that story with all of the intensity, blood and gore that fans would expect."

Dead Space Extraction will release for Wii in Fall 2009.
