Either that, or it could be referring to literal monkey pants, a style of trousers created in Japan which are military style in look and usually feature large pockets. It could be the developer's attempt to shoehorn in a bit of humor into a game that has one of the most gruesome opening scenes in horror history. It's not quite clear exactly what the phrasing refers to.

Uploading a somewhat grainy image, the user made mention of the fact that the box contained two screenshots from the game, adding that EA must have decided that only one of the images would show the words 'monkey pants.' Posting to Reddit, user u/noobish_hat seems to have noticed a minor detail on the back of the box art for Dead Space 2, the PS3 port specifically. However, sometimes there are humorous elements that crop up every now and then, as one fan discovered. Given that the second game in the franchise, which came out in 2011, is considered to be one of the scariest games of the last ten years, it's hardly surprising that gamers who like the thrills of being terrified continue to return to the games.

At the moment, horror fans are seemingly thrilled that a Dead Space remake is currently in the works.
