Electronic Arts today announced that new sci-fi survival horror game Dead Space will be in European and North American stores on October 31st for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system.

“Survival horror is about experiencing a terrifying, and deeply personal fiction,” said Executive Producer Glen Schofield. “Dead Space is being developed as a single-player thriller that delivers the chilling, claustrophobic feeling of being isolated in a dark environment, while being stalked by some truly horrific enemies. Halloween is the perfect time for EA to deliver the fear and anxiety that will keep survival horror fans up playing all night.”

Gamers can check out the new trailer and get all the latest dev team news at the newly redesigned and relaunched Dead Space Web site. Under development at EA Redwood Shores, Dead Space is not yet rated by PEGI or ESRB.
