Dead Space is a highly-anticipated survival horror game developed by Motive Studios and published by Electronic Arts. The game is a remake of the original 2008 title, which was developed by EA Redwood Shores. The new version is set to be released on January 27, 2023, for the PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. This will be the first release in the Dead Space series since 2013's Dead Space 3.
What is the plot of Dead Space?
The game features the same basic plot as the original. The story is set in the 26th century and follows the story of Isaac Clarke, an engineer who is a crew member on a repair vessel. He is assigned to the USG Ishimura, a massive planetary mining ship that has gone silent.
When investigating a distress call sent by the ship's medical officer, Nicole Brennan, who is also Isaac's girlfriend, the crew is attacked by mutated human corpses. Isaac is forced to fend for himself as he tries to save his surviving crewmates and uncover the truth behind the loss of Ishimura.
The developer of the upcoming Dead Space remake, Motive Studios, has announced that the game will not include any microtransactions. This is a departure from the original game, which had DLC that enhanced the player's abilities through weapons and suits. Additionally, Motive Studios has indicated that there will probably not be any additional story content or expansions released in the future as they are already expanding the game's lore and story.
The development of the game began at Motive Studios, and the success of EA's single-player Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Capcom's remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 were instrumental in the publisher's decision to green-light the Dead Space remake. The game is being developed using EA's proprietary Frostbite engine, which Motive Studios previously used to develop Star Wars: Squadrons and the single-player campaign of Star Wars Battlefront II.
Will Dead space have DLC?
The game will retain the same story and structure as the original but feature redesigned assets, character models, and environments. The developers intend to take advantage of SSDs on the ninth generation of consoles to have the game be presented as an "uninterrupted sequence shot," without any loading screens.
Content that was removed from the original game due to technical constraints may also be added. Unlike Dead Space 3, the game will not feature any microtransactions.
When will the game release?
The game was announced at EA's Play Live event on July 22, 2021, accompanied by a teaser trailer, with an initial target release date of late 2022. It was later pushed to early 2023, and on October 4, 2022, a gameplay trailer was released that revealed the game's release date to be January 27, 2023.
