Job listing updates Dead Space 2’s production status

Last May, a job listing on LinkedIn confirmed the existence of Dead Space 2, the sequel to last year’s popular space thriller. Recently, another LinkedIn posting has updated the games status from ‘pre-production’ to ‘ready for production in next few months.” The posting also mentions that “many of the (game’s) navigational and combat mechanics (are) in place”. Amusingly, these two postings have been the only sources of confirmation regarding a sequel to Dead Space, and should not be confused with Dead Space Extraction which comes out for the Wii this week. Incidentally, if you’re looking to be a ‘lead combat’ or ‘controls designer’, you may want to drop them your resume.
