“Gruesome” Dead Space 3 DLC Slated for March

Dead Space 3, Visceral Games’ latest big budget horror blockbuster, has crept its way into stores today and the buzz is good — though the insidious mixture of microtransactions and dull writing is scaring fans in their own way, but I’m not here to condemn games I haven’t played yet (I’ll save that for the YouTube comments section).

We’re here because EA has announced new downloadable content for the game that’s promised to be especially “disturbing,” even for the Dead Space franchise — and this is coming from the same series that introduced exploding slug-babies as an enemy.

Dubbed Awakened, the story add-on takes hapless engineer Isaac Clarke through “the franchise’s darkest chapters as the Necromorph battles become even more gruesome and terrifying than ever before.”  I’m guessing massive exploding slug-babies.

Awakened releases sometime in March for all systems Dead Space 3 graces, priced at $9.99 (800 MS).
