Dead Space 2 announced for iPad this December
iPhone and iPod touch version may also be in the works
Apple announced Dead Space 2 for iPad, pegging the action-packed survival-horror series will be released this December.
During an event held at an Apple retail store in Tokyo, the company revealed the third-person shooter as coming to iPad. We've contacted EA Mobile for confirmation, but as of yet we haven't received a response.
The game will bridge the story from the first Dead Space and the upcoming console sequel according to a presentation slide detailed by Japanese outlet 4Gamer, which generously provided the displayed image.
Other features touted on the slide include the lack of a heads-up display in line with the console game, gesture-based dismemberment attacks, and graphics tailored to iPad - all of which was predicted by our own Rumour Miner in April.
iPad is the only device for which the game is announced, although there is mention of a potential iPhone and iPod touch version.
The top of the slide reads, "Top rated EA original IP - 89 metacritic - comes to iPhone." We're waiting for comment from EA Mobile regarding a potential iPhone release.
Dead Space 2 will be available for iPad this December.
