Dead Space 3 News: Dead Space 3 will come out on February 5, 2013 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. New pre-order bonuses also announced.

The Dead Space 3 release date has been announced as February 5, 2013, meaning that this frozen-planet based Xbox 360, PS3 and PC game will arrive during one of the colder months in the United States. Very appropriate. Itâ€™s just as chilly in Europe that time of year, where the Dead Space 3 release date is February 8, 2013. Luckily, this horror-filled shooter has drop-in and drop-out co-op, so a buddy can keep you warm as engineer Isaac Clarke and co-op partner, John Carver.

In addition to the announcement of the Dead Space 3 release date, EA revealed pre-order bonuses for gamers who pre-order Dead Space 3 Limited Edition. It includes the two game bundles, First Contact and Witness the Truth, which are suit and weapon filled offerings. First Contact comes with a gold-finished First Contact Suit and powerful â€œscientific instrument,â€ the Negotiator Weapon. This â€œinstrumentâ€ is capable of bursting man-sized organisms into several pieces with a single shot, according to EA.

Dead Space 3 Limited Editionâ€™s Witness to the Truth bundle, meanwhile, has the insulated SCAF Witness Suit and AL-2g assault rifle known as the Evangelizer Weapon.

Itâ€™ll be interesting to see how Dead Space 3 plays as a horror game with the inclusion of drop-in, drop-out co-op gameplay. That review will have to wait until the Dead Space 3 release date on February 5. Until then, feast your eyes on the Dead Space 3 co-op screenshots from last month.
