Now Playing: Dead Space Remake Teaser Trailer | EA Play Live 2021

“We’re looking at what can be taken and reinjected into the first game from a future standpoint,” Ducharme explained. “We’re also learning from mistakes such as microtransactions, which we will not have, for instance, in our game.”

Ducharme is mostly likely referencing Dead Space 3, which was the most egregious in the series when it comes to microtransactions. The third game in the series was heavily criticized for its inclusion at launch, which was to be the last entry developed by Visceral Games and the last Dead Space before today’s remake announcement.

The Dead Space remake was just one of several announcements at EA Play Live, including reveals for Grid Legends, Battlefield Portal, and more. You can catch up on all the reveals in our EA Play Live round-up.
