EA has announced that Dead Space 3 will feature drop-in, drop-out co-op play when it launches next February. Returning developer Visceral Games has added a second character named John Carver, who players will embody when they jump into the game.

Rumors of the game taking place on a snow planet, a la Lost Planet, seem to have been confirmed by a new screenshot showing Isaac Clarke and John Carver decked out in their winter gear.
