14 DAY TRIAL // Electronic Arts’ Motive studio announced this week that the Dead Space remake announced last year will officially launch on January 27, 2023, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. The remake of the classic sci-fi survival horror game is being rebuilt from the ground up using the Frostbite game engine, the folks at Motive confirmed.
Developers also revealed that the remake will remain true to the original game’s thrilling vision, while offering 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. 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,” said Phillippe Ducharme, Senior Producer of Dead Space.
During the Dead Space livestream earlier this week, 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.
Additionally, by combining enhancements like dynamic, volumetric lighting with atmospheric and environmental VFX rendered in full-HDR, Dead Space will allow players to confront the frighteningly tight corridors and shadowed hallways of the USG Ishimura with unprecedented levels of immersion for the beloved franchise.
The Dead Space remake officially launches worldwide on January 27, 2023 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
