We’ve barely had a moment to enjoy the new plastic smell associated with opening a new game before Visceral Games announces its seemingly obligatory downloadable expansion pack, called Awakened.

Awakened, which launches in March for 800 Microsoft points on Xbox 360 and $9.99 on PlayStation Network, features the franchise’s “darkest chapters as the Necromorph battles become even more gruesome and terrifying than ever before”, EA said.

“In Dead Space 3 Awakened, gamers will experience some of the most disturbing content they have ever seen in a Dead Space game,” added Steve Papoutsis, boss of developer Visceral Games. “They are going to love it.”

Our Dead Space 3 review should be up in the next few days.
