The rumours were true — EA Motive is hard at work on a Dead Space remake, exclusive to PC and current-gen consoles.
The title will use EA’s Frostbite engine (for better or worse) and promises “jaw-dropping visual fidelity and improvements to gameplay while staying true to the original.”
“The Dead Space franchise made a huge impact on the survival horror genre when it was released 12 years ago, and I came to Motive as a fan first to specifically work on this game,” said Senior Producer Phillippe Ducharme.
“We have a passionate team at Motive who are approaching this remake as a love letter to the franchise,” he continued. “Going back to the original and having the opportunity to do so on next-gen consoles excited everyone on the team. As we look to modernize the game, we’ve reached out to dedicated fans and invited them to provide us with feedback since the early stages of production to deliver the Dead Space game they want and for new players to enjoy as well.”
The original Dead Space was released in 2008 for Windows PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. Expect this new Dead Space on Windows PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X and PS5; a release date wasn’t given.
