E3 2012: EA shows off Dead Space 3 gameplay, coming Winter 2013

Electronic Arts formally introduced their upcoming horror game Dead Space 3, as protagonist Isaac Clarke finds himself stranded on a wintry ice planet Tau Volantis. The game will not only introduce new Necrmorphs and gigantic boss creatures, but drop-in, drop-out co-op as friends can take on the role of Earthgov Sergeant John Carver.

The co-op was demoed on stage, as Isaac and John found themselves dealing with a monstrous ice worm creature that ravaged a firefight between the pair and a group of Unitologists, before being swallowed whole by the creature, and received a first hand look at its digestive system.

Electronic Arts also released the official trailer, as seen in the video below. Dead Space 3 will be released in the Winter 2013 for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
