We all knew it.  We all expected it.  And today, EA confirmed it: Dead Space 2 is on the way.

Isaac Clarke, the voiceless hero of the first game, is set to return to battle necromorphs across the wider reaches of space, according to the press release.  You can expect plenty more plot twists and turns, and I’m going to start stocking up on adult diapers right now if the terror-inducing original was anything to go by.

The game is in development for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, although no release date has yet been set.
