That signature sense of dread remained intact, too, and anyone worried that Visceral’s franchise had traded horror for action had their fears banished in the first 15 minutes. Strong sales and widespread critical acclaim led to Visceral fast-tracking what is perhaps the perfect sequel, as Dead Space 2 iterated on its predecessor’s design with blockbuster set pieces and a broader scope. Back in 2008, the original Dead Space also debuted alongside Mirror’s Edge – two fiercely original IPs in an EA catalogue otherwise dominated by big-name franchises and sports titles – and became the little horror title that could. It’s going on 10 years since players first wandered the dimly-lit halls of the USG Ishimura, carefully dismembering one necromorph after another. But if there’s one big casualty of Visceral’s closure, it’s Dead Space.
