Last week we told you the rumor that Dead Space 3 could be set on a frozen planet. Today we have more details have emerged regarding Isaac’s Clarke’s new mission, wanted status, and fractured mind.

Dead Space 2 spoilers and potential Dead Space 3 spoilers follow:

Allegedly Isaac is assigned a mission to save a woman on the inhospitable ice planet, Tau Volantis. Isaac has an arrest warrant out for him from EarthGov, sothe frigid environment must seem a little more appealing. One-eyed Ellie is also along for the trip, the woman who rescues Isaac during Dead Space 2's climax.

The paranormal Marker has tainted Issac’s mind since the first game. In Dead Space 2, he hallucinated haunting apparitions of his deceased girlfriend, Nicole. In Dead Space 3, Isaac apparently suffers from a split personality. “Shadow Isaac” is reported to consistently taunt, berate, and question the protagonist. We’re imagining a Smeagol situation with much more blood, gore, and zombie aliens.

As before, we can’t be certain that any of this is true, but the proposed scenario is definitely interesting. I would welcome an organic environment as opposed to another space station or ship.

    I honestly hope they drop the shattered psyche angle. After all, Isaac did defeat his psyche at the the end of Dead Space 2, so why should it still be around? I think they need to keep focusing on delivering unpredictable scares and not let the plot drift more into lala land. Maybe the planet could also add to the diversity of which creatures are infected by the necromorphs.

    Zombie Aliens? I thought they were Necromorphs!!!! Very different than a Zombie Alien lol

    Still trying to beat 2 on hardcore and beat isaac frost in fight night champion so please slow down EA.Don't wear out Dead space like you did everything else.

    I imagine the final boss battle will be Isaac vs Isaac you'll have to fight quiet Isaac ( dead space 1)and hide from him while he's stalking you in the icy halls of this new planet with those annoying regenerating necromorphs on your tail.Good lord I can't wait!*Squeals*

    Its called a space bar tim, use it.

    Edit:I've GOT IT!! THE CHICK HE'S SAVING IS THE GIRL FROM THE DLC AND THE WII GAME! THE PREGGO CHICK THATS IMMUNE! She must've crashed her ship when she escaped ishimura.....oh spoiler alert.

    I hope Shadow Isaac is voiced by Brad Pitt and the game ends with Isaac shooting himself in the cheek (which somehow kills Shadow Isaac). Hint, hint.

    Um, ok, maybe the story's starting to lose me a little. Originally, an Ice Planet sounded pretty cool, but according to this, it's another rescue mission like in the first one albeit the first one was on a ship and it wasn't exactly a rescue mission. I will buy the game regardless, I just hope the story can hold so that the series doesn't become the type where all u care about is the gameplay and the story doesn't really matter. Great stories make every game better

    Didn't he get over his problems at the end of Dead Space 2?

    I have played both the first one and half way through the 2nd Dead space and I must say that I am looking forward to the third installment.

    Can't wait. Dead Space is shaping up to be an amazing series, easily on par with Resident Evil. I really need to hurry up and finish DS2.

    As long as it is still incredibly scary and does not become a stupid adventure game like Resident Evil 5

    I agree, I think they better loose the "troubled mind" angle (since I believed him cured at the end of Dead Space 2) and focus on the story. He could be trying to clear his reputation while stopping the Unitology religion at its source. Also, if he is a wanted man, this better not be an "official rescue mission", otherwise the story would start contradicting itself.

    Is this game about the space shuttle Columbia? Because if it is, that's messed up.

    Dead Space 2 is one of my favorite games ever and I have complete confidence that the next one will be equally awesome.
