A few details about a sequel to the popular Dead Space, developed by Visceral Games, have been leaked in the form of a job advertisement., revealing that the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are currently in pre-production with the original team behind the first game.

The advert reads:

“Seeking a highly motivated Lead combat designer for the Dead Space franchise on Xbox360 and PS3. This is a major opportunity to contribute creatively to an exciting new franchise.”

“With games like Dead Space, Dead Space Extraction and Dante’s Inferno, Visceral Games is a return to an older identity and a realization of our future.

This M-rated action/shooter sequel will set new standards for an action-packed story-driven console experience. Our team values are as follows: Gameplay comes first, controller feel is everything, culture of creativity, be highly iterative, playtest early and often, learn from failure, work fast and smart, and surround ourselves with the best talent in the world.
The previous instalment in the Dead Space franchise received numerous awards for gameplay, visuals, and sound design, and the same core team is in place to create an even better follow up.

The game is in the later stages of pre-production, ready for production in the next few months, with many of the navigational and combat mechanics in place. We have complete autonomy and creative control over our own decisions. The Games Label at EA is 100% committed to this IP, and has already worked on IP extensions such as comic, animated features, and action figures.
We’re looking for a few more talented individuals to join, and take the game to new heights.“

Looks like someone’s going to get fired for that blunder. You can check out the full advertisement here
