'Dead Space' expanding further

Visceral Games, an Electronic Arts studio, has announced two new products in the 'Dead Space' franchise: 'Dead Space Aftermath' and 'Dead Space Salvage'.

These two brand extensions were revealed during this year's Comic Con, and on-hand during a panel discussion were 'Dead Space' producer Rich Briggs, 'Dead Space Salvage' artist Christopher Shy, 'Dead Space Aftermath' actor Christopher Judge, and 'Dead Space 2' actor Gunner Wright.

'Dead Space Aftermath' is an animated feature that explains what happened during the first-responder mission to Aegis VII. 'Dead Space Salvage' is a graphic novel that tells the story of a rogue group of miners who come across the dilapidated USG Ishimura. 'Aftermath' and 'Salvage' will be available later this year, as part of the pre-launch campaign for 'Dead Space 2'.

"It is tremendously inspiring to see 'Dead Space' continually expand to more media. It has always been our goal to experience the universe through multiple lenses and our vision is being realised. The 'Dead Space' world is living, breathing, and terrifying. We couldn't be more excited about these new offerings," said Steve Papoutsis, executive producer of the 'Dead Space' franchise.
