While it is somewhat concerning to hear that the gameplay will be undergoing changes, the fact that they’re listening to old fans and new players does give some hope that nothing that made the original game such a masterpiece will be lost. Ducharme stated, “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.” He will “primarily only speak when spoken to” and “sometimes speak in a situation where it would feel weird if he remained silent.” GameplayĪlong with changes to the story, we also heard that the gameplay mechanics will see some changes as well, although no details here were given either. Two rules were outlined for how Isaac will speak to preserve the tone of the original. He even posted a little video announcing his return on the Dead Space Twitter account. Gunnar Wright, who voiced Isaac in Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3, will reprise his role despite the character originally being silent. One thing that was confirmed via the latest livestream, where Motive showed off a bit more of the game, was the fact that Isaac will have a speaking role in this remake.

What “improved” means, in this case, remains to be seen, but perhaps this remake will serve as a new jumping-off point for the series to continue with new sequels. We also got a vague statement that the game will feature an “improved” story and characters.

Going back to the original and having the opportunity to do so on next-gen consoles excited everyone on the team.” We have a passionate team at Motive approaching this remake as a love letter to the franchise.

“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. We end with a shot of our protagonist, Isaac, whose health bar on his back refills as he stands up in front of the “cut off their limbs” message scrawled in blood on the wall.Īs far as how Motive intends to adapt the game, senior producer Phillippe Ducharme had a few choice quotes. We get some industrial sounds followed by a beautifully realized look at the broken and bloody hallways of the USG Ishimura, with the faint singing of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, a callback to a trailer for the first game, and a shadow look at a necromorph. This tiny teaser is all the footage we’ve got for the Dead Space remake. For anyone who played the original, nothing in it will be all that shocking or surprising.

Leaving out the PS4 and Xbox one also hints that this game is still a far way off from being done. The game will come exclusively on current-gen hardware, that being the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. PlatformsĪll of the platforms that the Dead Space remake will be coming to were listed by EA along with the announcement. Considering that, the best timeframe we can for to get back into our engineering suits and creep down the halls of the USG Ishimura is sometime in the fall of 2022, but possibly later. Unlike remasters, full-on remakes take just about as long as a new game to create. All that said, we can only take our best guess as to when the Dead Space remake will come out, and it likely won’t be very soon. The trailer itself didn’t even have any gameplay to show (more on that below) and showed work-in-progress footage. The most disappointing bit of information missing from this announcement was a release date.
