The game launched on October 13 for both the PSN and XBLA for $5 and 400 MS Points respectively. The comic is written by Anthony Johnston, the author behind the original Dead Space comics. Ignition also has four different endings which will all lead to unlockable equipment that can be used by Isaac Clarke in Dead Space 2. These minigames are hacking simulators called Hardware Crack, Trace Route, and System Override.

During certain moments within the comic's narrative the player is asked to play one of three minigames. The narrative of Dead Space: Ignition introduces players to the Sprawl and allows them to view the events leading up to the Necromorph infestation. The story takes place aboard the Sprawl, a city-sized space station that serves as the setting for the events of Dead Space 2. While those comics explained the backstory behind the original Dead Space, Ignition explains the goings-on between that game and Dead Space 2, and also introduces interactive elements not seen in the original motion comics. Dead Space: Ignition is similar in concept to the Dead Space motion comics that were available for free on PSN and XBLM.
