Dead Space 2 officially announced December 22 photo

Yes, what you are reading is there will be an announcement ... of an announcement. That's the kind of thing that happens in the videogame industry, and that's the kind of thing you're going to have to read. Dead Space 2 is one of the worst kept secrets in development right now. We all know it's happening, we even know multiplayer may be involved. Electronic Arts won't open its mouth.

It seems that EA's silence will be broken on December 22, as confirmed by Xbox 360 World magazine. The mag has a big teaser for its next issue that features Dead Space protagonist Isaac next to a big number two (dirty boy). A splash of teasing text reads: "One of 2010's biggest sequels. Next issue."

So yeah, a game we all knew was coming has had its official announcement officially announced to the surprise of nobody. I am aware of how ludicrous this is.

I preemptively give it a 4.5. You'll have to go all the way back the beginning of each level to get on the tram to go to the next one! Inconvenient.

Can't wait, just needs to be as solid as the first with improved narrative and a slightly better variety of enemies. Oh and I would love to carry over my equipment to a higher difficulty.

No, it's not official. But it will be. On the 22nd. Until then it's all speculation. That could be any game, in fact, it's probably Wii Music 2, and Xbox 360 world is just so jealous that they're going to announce it first.

But enough wondering, we'll know on the 22nd for sure.

I loved the first one. Just another game to add to a big game year in 2010.

If they set it on another ship they'll be getting a rotten banana skin in the mail.

I hope we get to visit issac's homeworld, most of the logs gave information about Issac's family etc.

Anyway's I'm hyped! I just hope if they do multiplayer it's co-op and not competative.

@ Fadecy:

I think you could still explore lots of opportunities on ships. For instance that was just a regular mining ship, you could set on a science based ship with a very different design. But yes a planet based setting would be fairly interesting as well.

I was so into DS until the Metroid-ish vagina monster appeared. That shut down the game for me. No more Metroid-ish vagina monsters, EA!

Forget announcement dates, I'd stay buy it without boycotting even if the game itself comes out this Dec 22, lol :D

I hope that multiplayer, if being put in, works good! Can't wait! I wonder what happened to Isaac + survivors from the first game...
