Electronic Artsā remake of sci-fi survival horror game Dead Space is coming to PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X on Jan. 27, 2023, the gameās developers announced Thursday during a livestream presentation. Dead Space was previously pegged for an āearly 2023ā release, according to EA.
EA Motive, the studio behind the Dead Space remake, also said to expect a āmore substantialā look at the game this October, ahead of Halloween. So donāt count on seeing much more from Dead Space at or around Summer Game Fest in June, especially since Electronic Arts wonāt hold an EA Play Live event as it has in years past.
The Dead Space remake was originally announced in the summer of 2021. EA Motive, which also developed Star Wars: Squadrons, is remaking the game with a few tweaks to Dead Spaceās signature gameplay mechanics, story, and characters.
The Dead Space series currently consists of three main games, starting with 2008ās Dead Space, and a pair of spinoffs. The main games are set in the 26th century and star Isaac Clarke, who battles undead beings known as Necromorphs, which, unlike traditional zombielike enemies, generally have to be dispatched by slicing off their limbs.
