Now Playing: Dead Space Remake Teaser Trailer | EA Play Live 2021
Motive’s Twitter account replied to Schofield, saying, “You paved the way for us, Glen. Looking forward to the Callisto Protocol as well.” The official Dead Space account then replied with three fire emojis.
The original Dead Space was developed by Visceral Games, a studio that has since closed. EA Motive worked with some former developers, including UX director Dino Ignacio, to get their insight and input on the remake.
“Back in January, I was invited to help guide the developers remaking a game I worked on 13 years ago. It’s been such a privilege to consult and advise the EA Motive team on a franchise I hold near and dear to my heart. Congrats to the whole team!” Ignacio said.
The original Dead Space launched in 2008, with sequels coming in 2011 and 2013. Various spin-offs were also released over the years. The new title is a remake of the first game, built on the Frostbite engine, and set for release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game promises “stunning visuals, audio, and controls,” while fans can look forward to “an improved story, characters, and gameplay mechanics.” You can check out a teaser trailer for the new Dead Space above.
In other news, we also learned that the new Dead Space remake won’t have microtransactions.
