Dead Space 3 demo coming to Xbox LIVE and PSN in January

Nothing like ringing in the new year with a demo for one of 2013's most anticipated games. On January 22, a demo for Dead Space 3 will be available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and PlayStation Network. Even better, Electronic Arts announced that Xbox 360 owners can sign up for a week of early access. To sign up for early access to the demo, you simply need to head to the game's website, register your Origin ID to receive a code that will allow you to download the Xbox 360 demo on January 15th, but supplies are limited.

According to EA's press release:

In the demo, players will be thrust into deep space terror when unwilling hero – Isaac Clarke – and all-new co-op companion – Sergeant John Carver – crash land on Tau Volantis, an unforgiving ice planet teeming with Necromorphs. Dead Space 3 takes the franchise’s core elements of suspense, horror, action and sound and introduces them to all-new elements – including co-op play – that allows players to work together to take down the most ambitious Dead Space experience yet.

Dead Space 3 releases for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on February 5, 2013.
