Dead Space now set to scare gamers on October 24

Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of EA's deep space survival horror now due a week early.

EA has today announced that Dead Space will launch in Europe on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 24. The PC version will arrive a week later on October 31. EA stated that the reason behind bringing the date forward is simply down to the dev team finishing work on the game early.

Wez was rather impressed with what he played back in June, calling the game a "frightful assault on the senses" - hopefully it will live up to its pre-release potential. For more on Dead Space head over to the game page, where you'll find news, previews, screen shots and trailers.
