Dead Space 2 "Severed" DLC Hitting Next Week

On March 1, you'll be able to rock out on Titan Station as Gabe Weller.

That Dead Space 2 DLC, “Dead Space 2: Severed,” now has a date and a price. The content will land on PSN and XBLM on March 1, 2011 at an agreeable seven bucks (or 560 Microsoft bones). No PC date is planned.

As previously noted, Severed adds two stand-alone chapters to the core game that star Dead Space: Extraction’s Gabe Weller and Lexine Murdoch. You’ll play as Gabe in both, and as a press release reveals this morning, Gabe’ll have access to a unique security suit and a supercharged Plasma Rifle. 
 
  
Both chapters take place on an infested Sprawl around the same time as the events of the core storyline, so expect the typical monster fare you saw in Dead Space 2. But don’t be surprised when you also bump into the Twitcher, the original Dead Space’s marine-and-necromorph hybrid. You’ll catch your first glimpse of this guy in the embedded trailer, which just hit today.

Shoemaker got his hands on this DLC earlier this week, and we’ll be running a video preview of it a little later this Friday. Make sure to check it out!
