Journey across space to the icy planet of Tau Volantis with Isaac Clarke and Sgt. John Carver to discover and destroy the source of the Necromorph outbreak. Comb the harsh environment for raw materials and scavenge parts to create the ultimate customized weapons and survival tools. You’ll need them if Issac and Carver hope to make it off the planet alive. And Necromorphs are just one of many enemies they’ll face this time around.
