After starting a series as well as the original Dead Space did, it’s always a point concern that in an attempt to make the experience feel fresh again, the developer might just change too much. In contrast, there’s also worries that the second game will only succeed in watering down the series and leave it feeling stale and stagnant. This is a balance that Dead Space 2 struggles to keep through its 8-10 hour campaign.

Electronic Arts recently announced that Dead Space 2‘s first DLC, a singleplayer add-on titled Dead Space 2 Severed, will not be coming to PC. While future DLC releases remain unknown, this seems to be following a trend by EA, with recent demos of Bulletstorm, Dead Space 2, Crysis 2, and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit also only hitting console gamers’ hard drives.
It seems EA’s recent purchase of the CampaignForPCGaming.com domain name is in no way changing how poorly they support the PC platform when it comes to their games, demos, and DLC. Let’s hope that changes sooner than later.

Although there was some concern that the second installment of Dead Space would make it to PC gamers, light has been shed on the situation with EA’s fourth-quarter financial results that listed Dead Space 2 under the PC category. It’s far from an official announcement, but safe to assume that it’s coming. There are no details on when it will hit PC, but the console version is currently set for an early 2011 launch.
