DEAD SPACE ANIMATED MOVIE TO RELEASE ALONGSIDE THE GAME

Electronic Arts and Anchor Bay Entertainment today announced that a new Dead Space animated movie, "Dead Space Aftermath" will be available on January 25 to coincide with the release of the videogame.

Coming from the award-winning game development team and the 2008 animated feature production company, Dead Space Aftermath will feature several internationally renowned animation directors that use their unique and bold visions to explain what happened during the first-responder mission to Aegis VII. The directors will do this through the perspective of four survivors in this fast-paced horrifying thrill ride that stretches the limits of time and space.

In Dead Space Aftermath, the year is 2509 and not only has Earth lost contact with the USG Ishimura and Isaac Clarke, but also the USG O'Bannon, which is the first responder ship sent to rescue them. Four crew members of the O'Bannon have survived, but no one knows what happened to the rest of the crew, what they were doing, or what secrets they may be holding.

Dead Space 2 will be available on Jan. 25, 2011 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the PC.
