Dead Space 3: Awakened releases March 12

I'm a college student with a huge passion for gaming; horror being my favorite genre. I like to write about games in my spare time. When I'm not writing, I'm playing or talking about them. Hopefully this continues into what ever future employment I find myself in.

EA has announced today that Dead Space 3: Awakened will release on March 12 on PlayStation Network, PC, and Xbox Live (the 13th on EU PSN). The post-campaign add-on will sell for $10 (800MSP). The content is said to amp up the horror elements by reintroducing dementia among Isaac and Carver. New enemy variants will surface, including Necromorph and Unitologist–the latter are looking pretty creepy! A new leader of the Unitologists can be seen above in the header and the trailer below.

Awakened looks pretty snazzy. After playing through the game as Carver, I wanted more dementia elements. Glad to see that’s the focus of this DLC. Let’s hope that Awakened is worth the $10 price tag.

        I have, I wasn’t happy with it then either. Dead Space 3, like Resident Evil 6 with Chris, was the right time to send Isaac off.
        However, again like RE6, Visceral didn’t have the balls to kill off the main character

          So is the fear of closing doors that should be closed. Publishers rather keep characters alive for the sake of brand familiarity and sequels.

            I find it more fitting to keep Issac alive since all he wants is death to happen so he can finally be free of all the pain he has suffered.

          You should be well aware that NOTHING can kill Isaac Clarke :P

          i kinda want that idea too, but it’s way too early since dead space is still a new franchise unlike RE. but i do hope the next numbered dead space game to feature a lead female protagonist

    Any word on the PC version? Probably “later in the year” bull again …. figures. First Dmc now Dead Space. Thank God for the well made Tomb Raider port at least.

      Left for dead on the devastated planet of Tau Volantis, Isaac Clarke
      and John Carver face a daunting journey. As madness takes hold, they
      realize they can no longer trust their eyes or each other. Their trek
      leads them back to the derelict ship Terra Nova. The horror continues as
      the Dead Space saga enters its darkest chapter. Available March 12, 2013 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC

      so yea, great they didn’t forget us this time :D

    I’ll be happy to see a return of Lexine in either DLC or the next game. Oh, and the oracles
