EA Motive, creators of Star Wars Squadrons, is developing a full Dead Space remake. Reports from GamesBeat's Jeff Grubb, backed by sources at Gematsu and Eurogamer, confirm the project. Grubb's latest GamesBeat article details Motive's involvement and the remake's scope.
This Dead Space remake promises a faithful update to the sci-fi horror classic, not a sequel—the series last entry was in 2013. Drawing inspiration from Capcom's successful Resident Evil remakes, it aims to preserve the original story while modernizing gameplay mechanics and visuals to terrify today's gamers.
The original Dead Space drew from survival horror greats, and this remake revives those chills with cutting-edge graphics from recent franchise entries.
Developed by EA-owned Visceral Games, the series ended with studio closure in 2017 before a major project wrapped. Co-creator Glen Schofield departed after the first game, later co-directing Call of Duty titles at Sledgehammer Games. He's now leading The Callisto Protocol, a spiritual successor, at Striking Distance Studios.
With EA confirming no new Star Wars projects and highlighting Motive's next title as special, the Dead Space remake is set to thrill fans. If you've braved the Ishimura before, this modern take will hook you again.
