Last year the news leaked out that EA’s upcoming Dead Space 2 would feature an online multiplayer component. The leak came via a job listing posted by EA.

Since then we’ve had no official confirmation of online multiplayer and personally I’d forgotten about it until now.

In a recent interview with Industry Gamers, EA CEO; John Riccitiello dropped the following hint that kind of confirms that Dead Space 2 will come with an online multiplayer mode.

“…Dead Space 2 is more than a worthy sequel; it’s going to be a monster. So I’m really, really pleased with that. It’s got some really innovative online gameplay.”

Ah, see that then?

He said; “innovative online gameplay”…

But is that confirmation of online multiplayer?

I think it would be fair to assume that’s what he’s talking about.

Anyway, he had more to say…

“It seems like everyone’s been Duke Nukem since the beginning of time, you know? Give me a bigger gun and I’ll march my way through. What Dead Space does is it’s a thinking man’s game in addition to being a great action adventure title… I love that to conquer this game you have to use your brain.”

There’ll be more info at next week’s E3 I’m sure…
