Visceral Games intends to release Dante's Inferno early next year. They might end the year with another game: a sequel to Dead Space.

This juicy excerpt from a Reuters article was spotted by VG247: "Electronic Arts has a pair of horror offerings for gamers. The publisher recently shipped Dead Space: Extraction for Wii, which is a prequel to last fall's Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC hit. Dead Space 2 is in development for next year."

A September job listing on LinkedIn revealed that DS2 would begin production in a few months. Even if the game doesn't arrive by the end of 2010 as Reuters claims, it's probably in development by now. Good to hear, as the first was pretty damn good.
