We finally got a glimpse of what’s to come with the new remake of the original Dead Space, simply titled Dead Space. The new trailer shows off a much improved game engine that uses the Frostbite engine and completely new gameplay improvements.
Rumblings of a Dead Space remake started in 2021, as leaks indicated that the project was underway at EA. The game was officially announced back in May, but this is the first time we’ve seen a full look at its gameplay.
The trailer for the Dead Space remake shows us that the game shares many of the beats of the original, but like the recent remake of The Last of Us, The Last of Us Part I, it aims to deliver the best possible experience. This improved experience comes not only from graphical updates, but also from new gameplay additions. EA shared some of the new features players can expect in the remake.
- The Fur System: Introduces the ability to tear through specific areas of flesh, bone, and sinew from enemy Necromorphs to weaken them in different ways, adding more strategy to encounters.
- The Intensity Director: A dynamic camera that changes what appears in Isaac’s path, including enemies, environmental effects, and more.
An immediately apparent addition is Issac’s voice. Veteran players of the Dead Space series will instantly remember that the franchise’s protagonist was a silent protagonist in the original title. In this remake, it has been switched to a voiced character, giving a new edge to this enhanced experience and offering a new flavor for those who played the original.
Dead Space Remake will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via the EA App, Steam, and the Epic Games Store on January 27, 2023.
