Dead Space 2 trailer leaked early
Dunno how long this will stay up, but there’s a leaked Dead Space 2 video below the break.
Apparently, the video was supposed to be released on April 29 according to those strange Rorschach inkblot pictures revealed last week.
Hurry and watch it, before EA yells at us and the internet.

EA announced back in February that the Visceral horror would release before April 2011 for PS3, 360 and handhelds, as well as PC.
