Dead Space 2 executive producer Steve Papoutsis has strongly suggested that a demo of the game could be available prior to the holidays.

When asked “Can a demo be released as a Christmas gift for us all?” during a question and answer segment on Dead Space 2’s Facebook page, Papoutsis replied, “A lot of people are asking that question. Gonna have to do some thinking about that but I would say stay on your toes, stick on the Facebook page, and (wink) you never know.”

Dead Space 2 is scheduled for release on the 28th of January for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
