Today during the EA Play Live broadcast, Electronic Arts finally revealed the return of the Dead Space franchise.
We’re getting a remake “completely rebuilt” by Motive Studios in Frostbite engine.
Not only the graphics will be updated, but also the gameplay will get yet unknown improvements.
You can check out a trailer and an official description below.
“The sci-fi survival horror classic Dead Space returns, completely rebuilt from the ground up by Motive Studios to offer a deeper and more immersive experience. Harnessing the power of the Frostbite game engine and next generation consoles, this remake brings jaw-dropping visual fidelity and improvements to gameplay while staying true to the original.
Dead Space will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Isaac Clarke is an everyman engineer on a mission to repair a vast, sprawling starship, the USG Ishimura, only to discover something has gone horribly wrong. The ship’s crew has been slaughtered and infected by some alien scourge…and Isaac’s beloved partner, Nicole, is lost somewhere on board.
Now Isaac is alone with only his tools and engineering skills as he attempts to uncover the nightmarish mystery of what happened aboard the Ishimura. Trapped with hostile creatures called “necromorphs”, Isaac faces a battle for survival, not only against the escalating terrors of the ship, but his own crumbling sanity.”
The Dead Space franchise debuted in 2008 for PC, PS3, and XBox 360, originally developed by Visceral games when it was still called EA Redwood Shores.
The latest game of the franchise was Dead Space 3 in 2013 just before the advent of a new generation. The series has been dormant since and many had lost hope to see a new game with the closure of Visceral in 2017.
