It has been announced that the Dead Space remake is set to be released in January 2023, which is great news for fans of the survival horror game. Today has been a day to forget for the games industry, though. With news that there would be delays for some hotly anticipated games, it’s nice to hear some good news on the release front, and the developers of the Dead Space remake have given us that.

In a developer live stream, the team at EA’s Motive Studios announces that the remake of 2008’s popular survival horror game will be looking to launch on January 27th, 2023, whilst simultaneously showing off all the work they have put into the game so far. Now, the stream wasn’t all smooth sailing as there were some technical faults that interrupted proceedings, but they got there in the end. You can check out the stream on the Dead Space YouTube channel.

What will the Dead Space remake involve?

The developing team of the Dead Space remake outlined what they had planned the game to be structured around and some things that will honestly give the game that terrifying horror look that has made the game series infamous; they include:

  • Horror storytelling: Dead Space will obviously still be set in space, but unlike the previous games, the players will be homing in on the horror aspect instead of the sci-fi part.
  • Immersion: The developers guarantee that players will be scared by what happens in the game, so scared that it will feel real.
  • A lived-in world: Every object, from the plasma cutters to the health tanks, will tell a story.

The live stream also talked about the technical process behind the Dead Space remake from the ground up. The video explored many before and after shots of items, all the updates that were made to Isaac’s memorable spacesuit, and some short clips of Isaac walking around the updated levels. This is now the third presentation that focuses on the development of the Dead Space remake, but there have been some live streams that went into detail about the game’s audio.

And lastly, not only will this survival horror game be released in January 2023, but EA has also announced that fans will get a full reveal of the Dead Space remake later in the year as well, possibly looking at being around Halloween.
