EA has got its E3 press conference off to a flying start with a first official look at Dead Space 3 following a leak of almost every conceivable detail pertaining to the latest chapter in Isaac Clarke's saga. This time, you won't be facing the fear alone though, as he'll be joined by new co-op buddy, John Carver.

In the first gameplay video, Visceral Games showed Isaac and John tackling a huge drill, before the spindly Necromorph emerged to ruin their day. Dead Space 3 will feature drop-in and drop-out co-op for the first time in the series, and competitive multiplayer has been dropped.

Visceral and EA also announced a release window for Dead Space 3. It'll be arriving in February 2013. So, now you know.

  • hate baby necro they are a pain
  • Can not wait...So what is it with these gruesome gore filled games being released around Valentines day...First Twisted Metal and now Dead Space 3 lol. Nothing says I love you more than here you go honey lets go dismember some shit together.
  • OMFG yes. Co-op? Awesome. No more multiplayer? Double awesome. Im so glad they are going in this direction.
  • Is offline co-op confirmed? Id personally rather see splitscreen, or at the very least offline and online co-op.
  • day 1 for me!
  • Very Disappointed. I was still hoping for an isolated terrifying experience, now it looks like instead I'm getting Resident Evil 5 ver 2. Especially since enemies shoot back now...a shame.
  • If you want to play it alone, play it alone. I sure will. (Unless the other character is going to be there anyways as an A"I". *shudder*sheva*shudder*
  • kind of army of two survival horror, but i´ll get it anyway
  • Releasing this in the same month as the new Aliens game isn't smart but hopefully it will turn out alright.
  • Hopefully some online co op would be good then I'll be onboard for sure
  • Drop-in & Drop-out co-op? Like Journey? Or... wait what?
