Dead Space 2 is a science fiction survival horror video game, developed by Visceral Games and published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, released in January 2011. Set three years after the events of the first game, the game follows protagonist Isaac Clarke's fight against a new Necromorph outbreak on the Sprawl, a space station surrounding a shard of Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Unlike its predecessor, Dead Space 2 has a multiplayer mode, pitting human characters against Necromorphs across the Sprawl. A Collector's Edition is available for all three platforms; the PlayStation 3 Limited Edition includes Dead Space: Extraction as a PlayStation Move compatible title. A port for Wii was planned, but not released. It is one of the most expensive video games, made with a 120 million budget split evenly between development and marketing during 2008 to 2010.

Dead Space 2 received critical acclaim. A sequel, Dead Space 3, was released in February 2013 to positive reviews, but to sales numbers that EA considered to be insufficient
