The first DLC for Dead Space 2 has a release date. You'll be able to play "Severed" on March 1 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The DLC will add two complete chapters to the game, and you'll play as Dead Space: Extraction's main character, Gabe Weller. Here's the official description of the plot:

"This digital pack will take players through the haunting story of Gabe Weller, who fans will remember from the award-winning game Dead Space Extraction. As a security officer, Weller comes equipped with a one-of-a-kind security suit and an upgraded, more powerful Pulse Rifle that will help him unleash his own blood-curdling adventure across the Sprawl. Lurking behind every corner is another bloodthirsty monster but the big surprise for Weller (and fans) is the return of the Twitcher, a grotesque enemy who first appeared in the original Dead Space game."
