Dead Space prequel appearing on the Wii in Fall 2009

We knew Dead Space was coming to the Wii, but I don’t think anyone expected it to be arriving in the form of an all new, exclusive game. That’s right PS3 and Xbox 360 owners who were gloating over how wonderfully scary Dead Space was, Wii owners will now get to do the same with Dead Space: Extraction.

EA Redwood Shores is working on the Dead Space prequel, which should be released in the third quarter of 2009. Dead Space: Extraction is going to be an all new experience, detailing the survival efforts of Aegis VII mini colony residents as they try to outlast a deadly infection and it’s repercussions, all while protecting a woman who may help the survivors make it out alive.

Based on some initial images shown in the official Dead Space: Extraction trailer EA released, the game looks pretty promising…
