EA Motive’s Dead Space remake gets an early 2023 release date

The remake of the horror cult classic, Dead Space, finally has a release date. Originally announced last year at EA Play Live, the 2008 iconic title is being remade from the ground up by Motive Studios, who recently developed Star Wars: Squadron.

Developed by Visceral Games and published by EA, Dead Space is one of the most iconic horror franchises, such as Evil Within, Outlast, and Resident Evil. Set in the 26th-century science fiction universe, the game follows systems engineer Isaac Clarke, who embarks on a search and rescue mission at the USG Ishimura that has gone radio-silent after receiving a distressing message from his girlfriend, Nicole.

The game was universally praised for its horror elements and received two sequels in 2011 and 2013, respectively. More than a decade after the release of the first title, Motive Studios is developing the remake, while staying true to its roots. EA has officially announced a release date for January next year.
