One of the highlights of Dead Space 3 was John Carver’s story, which you can only see if you play co-op with someone else. But I couldn’t get over the fact that I was still blasting Necromorphs in the Terra Nova. And dead Necromorph corpses (pictured below) were strung up in a Christ-like fashion, as if to serve as a make-shift altar. I saw ominous messages scrawled in blood on the walls. The remnants of Jacob Danik’s men - religious extremists from the cult of Unitology who were chasing you in the main game - have taken it over and turned the broken vessel into a sort of church … a church where they cut off body parts to serve a being they call the Voice.Īs I walked around the familiar layout of the ship, I noticed that the new church appeared to have hired a rather eclectic interior designer with a love for the macabre - I found dozens of lit candles and severed hands at nearly every dark corner. But it isn’t in the same shape you left it. Though Awakened will also feature brand new areas for Isaac and Carver to yell at each other over, the portion I played (a little over 20 minutes worth) was all about their return to the Terra Nova. That ship served as the primary setting for the first act of Dead Space 3, and after exploring every part of it, I wasn’t happy to find myself back there again. I didn’t expect this DLC to suddenly explode with entirely new content, but I also didn’t expect to see the Terra Nova. I’m concerned with how much Awakened recycles levels from Dead Space 3. It’s as if Visceral took the horror elements of what initially made the franchise so great (and which was noticeably absent from the latest game) and packed it in all at once into Awakened.īut first, I’ll give you the bad news. The small sliver of Awakened I played felt like a standalone horror story, complete with unstable characters, a supernatural threat, and all the gruesome gore you can take. Your guns and items will carry over from any Dead Space 3 save files you may have. You can find out what happened to Isaac and his partner John Carver either by yourself or with a friend in cooperative multiplayer.

But as you can see with this new piece of downloadable content (DLC), it’s clear he failed.ĭead Space 3 Awakened (out on March 12 for Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, and ) extends the third-person action-horror experience with new chapters that occur immediately after Dead Space 3’s ending.


Visceral Game’s Dead Space 3 brought him to hell and back as he tried to get rid of the deadly Necromorph creatures for good.
