"Disturbing" Dead Space 3 DLC will expand upon Dead Space 3's ending

Expect "interesting twists" and "disturbing" sights

Visceral is working on a "top secret additional story" for Dead Space 3 that will launch in "a few weeks". "We're not saying much, yet," executive producer Steve Papoutsis commented in a blog post. "But think "disturbing" to get your imaginations going."

Dead Space 3 promises to be fairly disturbing by itself. The game sees the increasingly battleworn Isaac Clarke and angry scarred friend John Carver travelling to the ice world Tau Volantis in search of a cure for the universe's lingering Necromorph infestation.

New to the Necromorphs? They're hideous sewn-together hunks of corpse, animated by a viral organism that lives inside a telepathic signal broadcast by the Markers, mysterious artefacts worshipped by the fanatical Unitologists. They are not your friends.

I polished off our build of Dead Space 3 earlier this week. Anything in particular you'd like to hear about in our Dead Space 3 review? Consider, if you will, the majesty that is the game's weapon customisation system.

  1. Is it disturbing in that its already on the disk, or you need it to to complete the game : )

    Ah. What information was this? 'The game is rubbish' lol. We'll never know...

    I'm going to say it was Ed saying the dlc wont be enough to make him forget the *REDACTED*.

  3. Surely they have already revealed the 'disturbing content', you know: co-op, universal ammo, the ability to take cover, the ability to roll, human enemies, turning the franchise into an action shooter rather than a survial horror...

    What could possibly be more 'disturbing' than all that?

    Just some bits from an interview of ours which elaborates ever-so-slightly on the Papoutsis material. They're being very protective about the DLC.
