Dead Space 3 demo coming to consoles in January

A playable demo of Dead Space 3 will be available for download from the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network on January 22nd, EA has announced.

Xbox 360 owners who sign up on the official Dead Space website (Origin account required) will be able to access the demo one week early (January 15th).

In the demo, players will be thrust into deep space terror when unwilling hero - Isaac Clarke - and all-new co-op companion - Sergeant John Carver - crash land on Tau Volantis, an unforgiving ice planet teeming with Necromorphs.

Dead Space 3 will be available on February 5th in North America and February 8th in Europe for the PS3, Xbox 360 and the PC.
