Unlike its predecessors, Dead Space 3 will reportedly feature scenes less like the one above and more like something out of Lost Planet 2.

Electronic Arts has yet to officially announce the game, but after the success of Dead Space 2 and EA's interest in establishing DS as a big franchise, it's inevitable. An Israeli news show recently showed footage of an EA office where a Dead Space 3 sign could be seen, and now a source has filled Siliconera in on the first details about the next game in the series.

Rather than be set on a spaceship, Dead Space 3 takes place on Tau Volantis, an icy planet that Isaac crash lands on. He finds he isn't the only survivor on the planet and learns that Ellie Langford is alive and has left for another location with a group of people. Isaac eventually meets a new character named Jennifer before facing enemies that were called "the hive mind" by the source.

Dead Space 2 was released this past January, more than two years after the first game was released in October 2008. There have also been two spin-offs: Extraction for PS3 and Wii and Ignition for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.
