Dead Space Extraction confirmed for Wii

EA announce Dead Space prequel exclusively for Wii

EA has confirmed Dead Space Extraction will be available exclusively for the Nintendo Wii from autumn this year.

Extraction is a prequel to the original game, which was released in 2008, and details the events leading up to the previous story on the USG Ishimura.

This time the horror takes place in a deep space mining colony and will see the introduction of a new female character, who can hopefully overcome the terrible infection.

"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," commented EA's Glen Schofield.

Extraction promises a new co-operative multiplayer mode as well as new weapons, enemies and puzzles.
