We know that, following a week of intense psychotherapy, the shaken nerves and disturbed dreams you developed after playing through <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/dead-space-2">Dead Space 2</a></em> have started to disperse -- which is why we hate to share this news with you. Visceral Games has announced that the game's two-chapter-long expansion, <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/dead-space-2-severed">Severed</a></em>, will be available on the North American Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Store on March 1 for 560 Microsoft Points ($6.99), and will arrive in Europe the following day. Check out a trailer after the jump to see the brand of horrors waiting for the pack's purchasers.<br />
<br />
Sure, you could heed the advice of your thereputic advisor and pass on the add-on altogether -- but aren't you curious exactly whose and which limbs are going to get titularly dismembered? We certainly hope they don't belong to our dear, dear <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/@dead-space-girl">Dead Space Girl</a>.

Don't get your hopes up, dear readers -- though EA recently uploaded a handful of screens for <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/dead-space-2">Dead Space 2</a></em>'s upcoming DLC expansion, <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/25/dead-space-2-dlc-severed-adds-two-single-player-chapters-brin/">Severed</a></em>, none feature the scream-faced protagonist, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/@dead-space-girl">Lexine Murdoch</a>. They only show Gabe Weller, who is <em>not</em> known for his outrageous facial expressions.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/07/dead-space-2-severed-screenshots-are-lexine-less/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Dead Space 2: Severed screenshots are Lexine-less</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/07/dead-space-2-severed-screenshots-are-lexine-less/">Dead Space 2: Severed screenshots are Lexine-less</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 07 Feb 2011 15:30:00 EST.

While <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/dead-space-2/"><em>Dead Space 2</em></a> has only been on retail shelves for about ... oh, a couple hours, that hasn't stopped EA from announcing more <em>Dead Space 2</em> in the form of "an all-new digital download pack that extends the <em>Dead Space 2</em> story with the addition of two standalone chapters in the single-player game." Most notably, "Dead Space 2: Severed" features the return of some nobody named Gabe Weller and ... Lexine "Dead Space Girl" Murdoch! Some of you may recall a certain blog's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/@dead-space-girl/">fondness for DSG</a> ... we still remember <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/01/dead-space-extraction-box-art-is-terrified-and-screaming/">seeing her for the first time</a> (and haven't gotten her out of our heads since). <br />
<br />
The only other details we have on Severed include a release window of "soon" for both the Xbox 360 and PS3. And yes, PC gamers, we realize that means your platform of choice isn't included and, since we wouldn't want anyone to miss out on an opportunity to be reunited with Ms. Murdoch, we've asked the publisher to clarify what's going on.<br />
<br />
[<strong>Update</strong>: An EA rep got back to <a href="http://www.vg247.com/2011/01/25/dead-space-2-severed-announced-for-psn-xbl/">VG247</a> and said, simply, "Dead Space 2: Severed will not be available on the PC." So, we guess that's that?]<br type="_moz" />
