Well if any of you have never heard me declare that DEAD SPACE is the best suspense horror game during this generation of consoles then let me remind you, “DEAD SPACE is the best suspense horror game this generation.” O.k. I needed to get that out, now on to some exciting updates.

Last year DEAD SPACE recieved our coveted “Sleeper Hit Of 2008 Award” and for most gamers with an A type personality who were courageuos enough to complete this amazing title, they were immediately begging for a sequel. Now it looks like all of our prayers have finally been answered as a sequel appears to be in the works based on a job posting on LinkedIn.

The job listing reads;

“Seeking a highly motivated Lead combat designer for the Dead Space franchise on Xbox360 and PS3. This is a major opportunity to contribute creatively to an exciting new franchise.”

“The previous installment in the Dead Space franchise received numerous awards for gameplay, visuals, and sound design, and the same core team is in place to create an even better follow up.”

“The game is in the later stages of pre-production, ready for production in the next few months, with many of the navigational and combat mechanics in place. We have complete autonomy and creative control over our own decisions.”

Well that’s sounds about as positive of proof as any but of course we wont jump to conclusions, right. Even though this appears to be rock solid evidence that DEAD SPACE 2 development is underway, let’s just keep our eyes and ears open as the coming months should reveal some nuggets on DEAD SPACE 2.
