As anticipation builds for Dead Space 2’s big unveil in the next couple of weeks, EA, courtesy of Twitter, have posted a rather strange and seemingly random painted scribble on the official Dead Space 2 Twitter page. However, if you look a little closer, you can actually make out Necromorph silhouettes of reapers and luckers. This isn’t just any ordinary scribble. The kinds of hieroglyphics at the bottom are most probably Unitology alphabet. This adds more weight to the assumption that this is or has some kind of connection with Dead Space 2. What do you think? Either way we’ll know by the end of December just how relevant or not this image is.

Check this out. This month’s issue of the Official Playstation Magazine which should hit shelves this week, teases a reveal for a new unannounced horror sequel for next month’s issue. Now the only horror sequel I want to hear about is Dead Space 2 and I think I may have gotten my wish. As you can see from the image below from the mag, there’s what appears to be a tentacled creature (a Necromorph?) framed by three shapes which look like chief protagonists Isaac’s mask from the original Dead Space. So it could be Dead Space right? Well yes, but even more conclusive is the second image below which is some early concept art for the original Dead Space game. It looks to me to be the same tentacled creature in the Playstation mag teaser. Dead Space 2 is coming folks. Expect a big reveal before the end of the year. This has TGL very excited.

We all know EA Redwood is working on a sequel to last year’s Sci-fi Horror hit Dead Space. However a new job listing posted by the developers appears to suggest that the anticipated sequel will include online multiplayer options for the first time in the franchise.

The listing appears of Linkedin.com and sites the need for a “Senior Online Level Designer”. Each applicant should “be able to work collaboratively with Creative Director and Online Producer to create extremely fun, satisfying and polished multiplayer levels.” Also applicants should require a “Deep knowledge of the action / shooter game genre, and online space in particular”. Sounds like online multiplayer to us.
