The official Dead Space website has now been updated with a countdown and graphic novel-style short film. Is this the first teaser for Dead Space 3? We know at least one Dead Space game is in development, and with E3 just around the corner, an announcement seems likely.

A new Dead Space title has been officially confirmed for release within the next year, and it is rumored to take place on an ice planet. Previous reports revealed a number of changes we may see in the new game, including co-op, upgrade changes, and crouching:

Co-op: “Isaac Clarke will, if players choose, fight alongside a man with a gnarly scar on his face, an engineering RIG of his own, and glowing red eyes peering from his helmet. During single-player, this character acts as Isaac’s guide.”

Upgrade Changes: “Alternate-fire in Dead Space 3 functions much differently than before, possibly because the workbench, where players previously upgraded weapon power, reload speed, and capacity, has changed. The Plasma Cutter, whose default horizontal shot changed to vertical, is an entirely different weapon now. Its alt-fire mode now has a similar knockback effect to the Force Gun.”

Crouching: “Crouching is one of Isaac’s most notable new abilities, and it functions as his means of cover as he hides behind small objects. The left/right evasive roll is unquestionably the most significant change we know of in his new skill set.”
