Electronic Arts announces January 27, 2023 is when to expect the launch of the
Dead Space remake, which was
previously promised for early next
year.
This video recaps a livestream where the developers at Motive offers "an
early look at the current stages of development" on the sci-fi horror game.
Hopefully not that early, since we're now expecting the game in just over eight
months. Here's word:
Motive, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:
EA) today announced during their Crafting the Tension Art Developer Livestream
that Dead Space™ will officially launch on January 27, 2023 for PlayStation®5,
Xbox Series X|S and PC. Dead Space is a remake of the classic sci-fi survival
horror game that is being rebuilt from the ground up leveraging the Frostbite™
game engine. Still remaining true to the original game’s thrilling vision, the
remake offers enhanced audio and crisp, harrowing visuals that have been
carefully reimagined to evoke a new level of immersion and quality.
“Developing this remake has been a lot of fun for us at Motive, as we’re true
fans of the franchise and want to treat it with the respect it deserves. It’s
been equally exciting to see players' reactions as we’re taking them on this
development journey with us,” said Phillippe Ducharme, Senior Producer of Dead
Space. “We’re making great progress on our road to hitting Alpha and we’re happy
to announce that the game will be launching in January next year. We can’t wait
for players, both old and new, to see how we've elevated the original experience
in the remake to be just as impactful for this generation.”
Dead Space puts players in the boots of Isaac Clarke, an everyman engineer on a
routine mission to fix a gigantic mining starship, the USG Ishimura. But aboard
the Ishimura, a living nightmare awaits. The ship’s crew has been slaughtered
and infected, and Isaac’s girlfriend, Nicole, is missing somewhere on board.
Alone and trapped, with only his engineering tools and skills, Isaac faces a
battle for survival - not only against terrifying monsters called Necromorphs,
but his own crumbling sanity.
Also revealed today in the Dead Space livestream, the team at Motive
showcased an early look at how the remake visually evolves and updates the
original with in-game props, tools, environments and more being reconstructed to
a level of polish and details fit for the next generation of hardware and PCs.
Moreover, by combining enhancements like dynamic, volumetric lighting with
atmospheric and environmental VFX rendered in full-HDR, Dead Space allows
players to confront the frighteningly tight corridors and shadowed hallways of
the USG Ishimura with unprecedented levels of immersion for the beloved
franchise.
Will Isaac live to unravel the dreadful mystery of what happened to the
slaughtered crew and ship, or be forever lost to the cold vacuum of space? Find
out when Dead Space officially launches worldwide on January 27, 2023 for
PlayStationⓇ5, Xbox Series X|S and
PC.
