Dead Space remake gets first-ever gameplay trailer

EA finally shows off what the highly-anticipated remake of Dead Space looks like in action.

After several months of quiet teasing, Electronic Arts (EA) has finally shown off the Dead Space remake properly — and boy, does it ever look sick. 

On Tuesday, EA released the first gameplay trailer for Dead Space. It opens with an emergency response team responding to a distress call from the USG Ishimura, and protagonist Isaac Clarke quickly learns that this spaceship’s corridors are overflowing with undead monstrosities. Afterwards, we can see several iconic moments from Dead Space recreated with beautiful 4K assets on EA’s Frostbite engine.

Check out the trailer for yourself below. Be warned: it’s pretty gruesome, so maybe don’t watch this in the office.

Most of the gameplay highlights dismemberment, which is an integral part of Dead Space. There’s no shoot-them-in-the-head solution here, oh no – defeating enemies means you’ll have to blast and cut limbs off until your foes are nothing but lifeless torsos on the floor. Yeah, it’s gross, but these mechanics are what made Dead Space a survival horror classic.

The Dead Space remake is coming out on Jan. 27, 2023, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. EA Motive, the studio responsible for this gnarly reimagining, is also working on an Iron Man video game.

Dead Space remake will launch in January 2023

In-depth details are coming this fall.

If you’re hungry for even mere scraps regarding the Dead Space remake, like me, then prepare to chow down. 

On Thursday, EA announced that the Dead Space remake is coming out on Jan. 27, 2022, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Senior producer Phillippe Ducharme gave some insight into what everyone can expect from Dead Space’s return.

“Developing this remake has been a lot of fun for us at [EA 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,” Ducharme said. “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.”

Dead Space remake will showcase its terrifying art this week

A strong stomach will probably be essential for this stream.

If there’s one Dead Space does well, it’s grotesque body horror that would make John Carpenter proud. Thankfully, EA Motive will soon showcase some of the remake’s gnarly artwork.

On Monday, EA announced that a Dead Space remake developer livestream will happen on May 12, 2022, at 10:00 A.M. PDT // 1:00 P.M. EDT // 5:00 P.M. GMT. Unlike other broadcasts by EA Motive, this one will focus on art. Hopefully, no needles will fly into any eye sockets like that scene in Dead Space 2  — which is free on Amazon Prime right now, by the way. 

Of course, the next Dead Space remake developer broadcast will stream on a couple of platforms which we’ll link to below. A reminder that this show will get very gory fast given the series’ reputation, so maybe don’t eat anything before watching.

We don’t know too much about the Dead Space remake other than EA Motive is targeting an early 2023 release window. Given how often delays are in the games industry, take that more as wishful thinking than something set in stone.

If nothing else, there are plenty of excellent survival horror games you can play in the meantime. Resident Evil Re:Verse may even be out soon if regional ratings are any indication.

The Dead Space remake is coming out in early 2023

Issac Clarke may return sooner than initially thought.

Much to the chagrin of nine-limbed alien monsters everywhere, the Dead Space remake is likely coming out in early 2023.

During Friday’s developer stream, EA Motive announced its targeting the first half of next year to release the remake. There is no solid date yet, but it’s surely far too soon for that.

“We want to make sure that we are in a place where the game we’re going to deliver is going to be building upon the expectations of fans,” EA Motive said via IGN. “So right now, we’ll say early next year. We have a date in mind and we want to make sure that everything converges for this.”

You can watch the entire Dead Space remake presentation below. Keep in mind that this showcase is just showing off EA Motive’s technology, and it’s not a demo. The studio claimed we’re only a couple of weeks away from seeing how the game plays, though.

The footage reveals some of the impressive audio effects work going into this remake. Particularly in how positional audio will play a significant role in nailing that classic Dead Space feel. All the gnarly limb contortions fans come to expect will sound better than ever.

A Dead Space remake developer stream is coming this Friday

EA Motive is giving fans a look at the highly-anticipated remake.

It’s been quite some time since EA Motive gave us fresh details on the Dead Space remake, but that’s changing this week. 

On Monday, EA Motive announced that there will be a Dead Space remake developer stream happening Friday, March 11, 2022, at 10 A.M. PDT // 1 P.M. EDT // 6 P.M. GMT here. 

“Motive invites you to the latest in their series of early looks at development and what goes into the remake of a game,” EA Motive said on YouTube.

Specifics about what the stream might entail are noticeably absent, but EA Motive did include a brief teaser trailer that you can watch below.

Dead Space came out back in 2008 on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC to significant acclaim from critics and fans alike. It’s held in the same high regard as Resident Evil and Silent Hill among hardcore survival horror enthusiasts. However, despite all that adoration, Dead Space 3 was the last mainline series entry due to developer Visceral Games shutting down in 2017. If all pans out well, this remake should reinvigorate interest in Dead Space. Fingers crossed, anyway.

The Dead Space remake will be EA Motive’s sophomore effort (the first being Star Wars: Squadrons) and will release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC at some point in the future.
