Electronic Arts says that Dead Space (the remake) will be released on January 27, 2023. Prior to this announcement, Dead Space was expected to launch in early 2023 and it looks like that time frame is still very much on track.
The date was announced during today's new behind the scenes livestream that was promoted earlier this week. The main focus of today's stream was to share with fans a look at the art and art direction that the Dead Space remake is taking. If you missed that, you can find the video below (again, assuming YouTube hasn't aged restricted it).
The release date announcement says that Dead Space will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. This remake aims to retain the original game's vision will updating most everything with the game in the Frostbite engine.
Today's stream featured a look at some of the advanced visuals that are being incorporated into Dead Space. These include things like dynamic, volumetric lighting with atmospheric and environmental effects rendered in full HDR.
Dead Spaceputs players in the boots of Isaac Clarke, an everyman engineer on a routine mission to fix a gigantic mining starship, the USG Ishimura. But aboard the Ishimura, a living nightmare awaits. The ship’s crew has been slaughtered and infected, and Isaac’s girlfriend, Nicole, is missing somewhere on board. Alone and trapped, with only his engineering tools and skills, Isaac faces a battle for survival - not only against terrifying monsters called Necromorphs, but his own crumbling sanity.
