The Dead Space remake is set to go live on January 27, 2023. While it will remain true to the plot of the original game, which was released in October 2008, the launch trailer shows significantly improved visuals. Not only that, fans of the franchise can expect some impressive upgrades.

The Dead Space launch trailer includes snippets from the entire game. There's nothing to spoil here in terms of the story, primarily because it's a remake. Moreover, the video has been created in such a way that fans, both old and new, would want to get their hands on the title.

Given the fan following that the title has, it was only a matter of time before the developers of the series breathed new life into it. As mentioned in a developer blog post, the basic idea behind the remake was to rebuild the game from the ground up and add new content along the way, while remaining true to the spirit of the original.

Fans from around the world will notice familiar scenes from the original title in the launch trailer, but they appear far more detailed now due to the improved graphics.

Moreover, when it comes to the Dead Space remake, the developers at Motive Studios have dubbed the entire process as one sequential shot. Phillipe Ducharme, the Senior Producer, said:

"We’re also actually creating the entire game as one sequential shot. From the moment you start the game to the moment you end the game, there are no camera cuts or load screens—unless you die."

They further talked about how the players will have an "unbroken experience":

"The Ishimura is now fully interconnected, so you can walk from Point A to Point Z, visit the entire ship, and revisit locations you’ve already completed to pick up things you might have missed—that’s all new. It’s now a completely unbroken experience."

One of the key differences between the original title and the Dead Space remake is that Issac Clarke, the protagonist, will be fully voiced from the very beginning. Players will also come across a new system known as Intensity Director. Described by the developers at Motive Studios as a Stress Engine, it will ensure that everyone has a unique experience in the USG Ishimura.

Overall, the upcoming Dead Space game may be a remake, but, given the number of changes that were spotted in the trailer and revealed by the developers themselves, it is being perceived by many as a brand new title altogether.

The Dead Space remake is scheduled to go live on January 27, 2023. At launch, this title will be available on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Unfortunately, it will only be available on new-generation consoles. So, players who were expecting to play this title on the PS4 or even the Xbox One will be utterly disappointed.
