Dead Space Remake Coming In January 2023

The remake of Dead Space will be released on January 27th, 2023. The statement was made by Motive, the EA team behind the game, during the company's Crafting the Tension Art Developer Livestream. The legendary sci-fi horror survival game is being recreated from the ground up with EA's Frostbite game engine and will be released for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

The original Dead Space was released in 2008 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Motive is improving its aesthetics and making its audio more crisp for a more immersive experience on modern consoles.
