De nieuwe Dead Space 3 gaat een co-op modes krijgen, EA denkt namelijk dat de game te eng is om enkel alleen te spelen. Door het toevoegen van deze nieuwe mode hoopt EA dat er meer mensen zijn die de game nu ook gaan proberen.

Layra Mielie de marketing Boss van EA zegt het volgende erover:

“The scare tactics of the original two Dead Space titles were so strong because of its single player design.”
We were hearing feedback that they love the thriller game, but it was pretty scary, and the obvious next step was that they wanted to play with someone. So we introduced co-op into the game
Personally, I would rather go to scary movie with my husband rather than sit at home with the lights out watching one on my own. We’re looking for that to reach out to consumers that perhaps were not open to Dead Space 1 and 2.

Tevens is er een nieuwe video uitgebracht die meer over de game verteld en met echte gameplaybeelden.
