No one really knows what Peng is, but its value in the Dead Space mythos is supposedly unrivaled. First appearing in the original 2008 game before making appearances throughout the franchise, Peng is a running gag that can be found in in-game advertisements and promotional materials. One of the recurring items in the game is Dead Space's Peng treasure.

This means that those looking for more than just a few good scares will be pleasantly surprised by what can be found in the franchise's decade-long history. Ishimura's storied past to the fictional religion of Unitology, Dead Space's world-building is the kind that takes years to create over a vast array of media, video games included.

Looking past its dimly-lit areas and Necomorph-infested halls reveals that the Dead Space franchise has a substantial amount of lore to it.
