Cryptic Dead Space 2 message is actually Dead Space Ignition

It looks like the cryptic message we reported on yesterday was actually a teaser shot about an upcoming Xbox Live, PSN arcade game. Named Dead Space Ignition and due out this Fall, the arcade title will take place before the events of Dead Space 2.

The game will consist of three mini games and play out like an interactive comic book. Here’s how the press release boils it down.

Dead Space Ignition combines an interactive comic-style story with three unique hacking mini games; Hardware Crack, Trace Route and System Override. Each game offers a fun and satisfying arcade experience that will challenge players with puzzles and twitch gameplay. Dead Space Ignition features a unique “Choose Your Own Adventure” type narrative, allowing players to survive the horrific Necromorph outbreak in multiple ways. The game offers four unique endings and upon completion of each one, players will be rewarded with unlocks including an exclusive suit, all of which can be used by Isaac Clarke in Dead Space 2 when the game releases on Jan 25, 2011.

It’ll be interesting to see how the story ties in with the sequel. Since DS 2 isn’t being released until 2011 we can only hope this morsel serves up as a tasty and filling appetizer before the main course.
