If you’re a fan of the EA and Visceral Games franchise Dead Space, you will be glad to hear that a new downloadable demo is coming next month. EA announced this week that the demo for Dead Space 3 will be available on January 22.

Xbox 360 gamers will be able to get the demo a week earlier than that date by signing up at the official Dead Space website. If you’re unfamiliar with Dead Space, this is an action, science fiction, horror video game that offers cooperative game play.

Players will fill the space boots of hero Isaac Clarke and his co-op companion Sergeant John Carver. The duo are on the planet of Tau Volantis, which is covered in ice and filled with Necromorphs. The full game will launch in North America on February 5 for the PS3, Xbox, and PC.
