EA announced today that Dead Space Extraction, the Wii take on its original sci-fi horror franchise, will hit North America on September 29. A European debut is set to follow on October 2.

“Our team is really excited to bring the intensity of the Dead Space universe to an entire new audience,” said Executive Producer, Steve Papoutsis. “We are going to deliver the same high quality, cinematic experience we delivered in the original Dead Space, while also adding co-op, new enemies, weapons and taking advantage of all of the unique features the Wii has to offer.”

Set deep within the bounds of space, Extraction is an on-rails shooter that tells the tale of a group of space colonists at their wits end struggling to escape from a horrific infection that has seeped through the Aegis VII mining colony.
