EA and Motive have released a gameplay trailer for theDead Spaceremake, highlighting some of the improvements that will be making their way into this new version of the classic sci-fi survival horror title. TheDead Spaceremake was first announced last year, and fans of the long-dormant franchise will get to play it for themselves in just a few months.
TheDead Spaceremake is being developed by Motive Studio, primarily known for its work on theStar Warsfranchise. Motive has proven itself capable of delivering high-quality sci-fi games, though theDead Spaceremake is still quite a bit different from the studio’s previous projects. Regardless, the newly-releasedDead Spaceremake traileris quite impressive, showing that it will be faithful to the original while still making notable improvements.

TheDead Spaceremake trailer shows protagonist Isaac Clarke exploring the USG Ishimura, utilizing his engineering equipment to solve puzzles and fight horrific alien monsters known as the necromorphs. Thenecromorphs in theDead Spaceremakeare even uglier than the original, thanks to the game’s vastly improved graphics. Necromorphs in theDead Spaceremake will be governed by something EA is calling the “Intensity Director,” which influences necromorph spawns.
Gunner Wright is back asIsaac Clarkein theDead Spaceremake, which means Isaac actually talks this time around. As some may recall, Isaac Clarke was a silent protagonist in the originalDead Spacegame, with Gunner Wright signing on to play the character in the sequelsDead Space 2andDead Space 3.
The decision to bring Gunner Wright back for theDead Spaceremake will likely prove to be a popular one with the game’s community. Fans may also enjoy the fact that theDead Spaceremake has no loading screens. In the remake, the Ishimura will be one interconnected ship as opposed to segmented by chapters. This should have an interesting impact on the game’s pacing, though fans will have to play it for themselves to find out how it feels.
Luckily, theDead Spaceremake release dateis not far off. Fans who are excited to relive Isaac Clarke’s sci-fi horror adventure with gameplay improvements and upgraded graphics can do so this coming January.The Callisto Protocol, a similar game from the co-creator ofDead Space, is set to launch a month earlier, so fans may want to check that out to tide them over in the meantime.
