visuals ever showcased on the platform.
“Our team is really excited to bring
the intensity of the Dead Space universe to an entire new audience,” said
Executive Producer, Steve Papoutsis. “We are going to deliver the same high
quality, cinematic experience we delivered in the original Dead Space, while
also adding co-op, new enemies, weapons and taking advantage of all of the
unique features the Wii has to offer.”
Developed at EA’s award-winning
Visceral Games studio, Dead Space Extraction tells the story of a handful of
space colonists desperately struggling to escape from a horrific infection on
the Aegis VII mining colony deep in the furthest regions of space. The game
introduces Lexine, an important new heroine, to the Dead Space universe. Players
will play as the crew who falls victim to a mysterious contagion aboard the

hope for survival.
