Dead Space 2‘s multiplayer producer says that cooperation is key, as separating from the group will probably lead to a quick death.

Up to four humans will play cooperatively against four different types of Necromorphs. Failure to complete an objective leads to a loss, as seen in the latest trailer where time runs out and the Necromorphs win. Humans will have to fight to complete these objectives rather than just shoot as many Necromorphs as they can see. Players will be able to take on the roles of either humans or Necromorphs in Dead Space 2‘s multiplayer mode, but every level is objective based.
The studio appears to be following Ken Levine’s philosophy of multiplayer by trying to do something that fits within the world of Dead Space rather than simply adding a deathmatch mode. The brand new multiplayer mode coming to Dead Space 2 will be something more than deathmatch in spacesuits.Īs promised, Visceral Games has officially revealed the multiplayer mode to be featured in Dead Space 2 on the latest episode of GameTrailers TV.
