Dead Space 2: Severed

Setting and Narrative Expansion

This expansion takes place specifically on Titan Station, providing a new localized setting within the larger universe established by the parent game. The narrative centers on the return of two established characters from previous installments: Gabe Weller and Lexine Murdoch. Players assume the role of Gabe Weller as he navigates the chaos, fighting against an onslaught of Necromorphs while attempting to ensure the safety of Lexine.

Core Gameplay and Content Additions

As an extension of the base game, this content utilizes the established third-person shooter mechanics, emphasizing strategic dismemberment against the relentless alien threat. The primary new content is the dedicated storyline featuring Weller, offering a different perspective on the catastrophic events unfolding on Titan Station. It does not introduce fundamentally new gameplay mechanics or systems outside of the context of its two chapters.

What is the scope of this downloadable content?

This DLC is structured as a brief, focused addition, comprised of two distinct chapters. While it adds significant character-driven story content and new environments within the Titan Station setting, its scope is considerably smaller than the full-length main game, serving as an additional side story rather than a major expansion.

How does this content integrate with the main game?

The narrative runs parallel to the main game's plot, meaning players experience events happening concurrently on Titan Station from a different character's viewpoint. It is not a standalone experience and requires ownership of the base game to access.

Platform Availability

This content was made available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms upon its release.

Are there any further expansions or additional content available for this title?

As of the current date, this two-chapter pack represents the entirety of the additional content released for this specific iteration of the game; there are no further DLCs or expansions listed.
