According to reports coming out of the recent GameStop managers meeting in Texas, Dead Space 2 will be getting a multiplayer component in which players will control either Necromorphs or “soldiers” (presumably not welders, then?). GamerNode claims that the mode will consist of “deathmatch-style combat” and will be just one of several multiplayer game modes when the game launches in early 2011 .
