This week, Electronic Arts begins shipping Dead Space Extraction. The title is the first to be branded with the Visceral Games (formerly EA Redwood Shores) name.

The plot of Extraction predates the story of the original Dead Space released last year, and aims to maintain the intensity of that game. The official story goes like this:

Telling the story of four space colonists trying to escape a mysterious infection, Dead Space Extraction explores the origins of the necromorph invasion that threatens humanity and the universe. At the center of this group is Lexine, an important new heroine being introduced for the first time to the Dead Space storyline. As the crew continues to fight for their lives, it becomes clear that protecting her is their only hope for survival. Luckily, players are armed with an arsenal of weaponry, an easy-to-use control system built from the ground up for the Wii, and can even recruit a friend to play co-operatively, a first for the Dead Space franchise.

“Dead Space Extraction has been such a rewarding project for many different reasons,” said Steve Papoutsis, Executive Producer on Dead Space Extraction. “We have successfully brought Dead Space’s trademark action horror experience to a new platform while maintaining our studio’s high standards for quality and polish. Dead Space Extraction will be one of the defining action horror games for the Wii.”

Dead Space Extraction is rated M for Mature by the ESRB for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, and Strong Language. It will be available September 29th for $49.99 on the Nintendo Wii. For more info, go to http://www.deadspacegame.com.
