[PC, PS3, X360] Rumour: DICE helping Visceral with Dead Space / Frostbite 2?

Frostbite 2 is a pretty nifty engine, Battlefield 3 being the foremost example of how awesome it is. It has proven itself so much that EA is excited to get the engine to work on other franchises. Need for Speed: The Run uses it and the upcoming Medal of Honor: Warfighter will be using it. Now it appears that there is a chance that Dead Space could be using Frostbite 2 as well.

A recent tweet from DICE has alluded to the fact that they are jetting around the world, spreading the Frostbite 2 love. Johan Andersson (DICE rendering architect) tweeted, “Flying off to Canada & the US to visit a whole bunch of Frostbite-powered EA studios before GDC” and then “First stop: Montreal.” Two EA studios are located in Montreal, Visceral Games and BioWare also has a presence there.

We have heard in the past that several Dead Space titles could be in the pipeline, including Dead Space 3. This is by no means confirmation that it is happening, but it is a possibility. The other option might be Dragon Age III due to BioWare's presence and potentially lending some credibility to rumoured multiplayer claims for the third installment for the franchise.

We'll keep our ears to the ground for any more rumblings, would you like to see Frostbite 2 put to the test in Dead Space?

I'm super keen to see this in action - wide-scale environmental destruction as well as strategic dismemberment?
I'm on board.
