We’ve known that a sequel to the survival horror Dead Space was forthcoming and that it would only be a matter of time before an announcement is made. We believe the ball has officially begun rolling with a new Twitter account teasing a single picture that makes practically no sense at all.

The image consists of an ink blot test, which looks like a six-legged frog mutant to us, along with a bunch of strange symbols written below. Of course, if you remember, these symbols were all over the Ishimura vessel in the first game.

Deciphering the code reveals the following message. “The nightmare is over but it will never end.”

So what does it all mean? Is the next game going to be plagued with giant mutant frogs inside a mental asylum? Be sure to follow @deadspace for any updates to the matter. While you’re at it, why not follow @PS3Attitude as well?
