EA Motive's latest developer update for the remake of Dead Space focused primarily on new changes to audio including how Isaac's dialogue delivery can change.
Following today’s developer livestream, publisher Electronic Arts has confirmed that the Dead Space remake is heading for an early 2023 release window. It’s far sooner than expected, considering how new the game looked during the first livestream. However, there were rumors floating around about it showing next year. When I heard the rumor, I thought it would be nice to see the game that quickly. Well, I can confirm that it does feel nice.
EA announced the release window news via Twitter. It didn’t include a lot of additional detail. All we know is that the Dead Space remake will release early next year. Of course, that is the projected time of launch. There’s always a chance we’ll see a delay. And considering how the last year has been, I wouldn’t bet any money. Here’s hoping, though.
The date was revealed right after the surprisingly lengthy developer livestream, where EA Motive dove into the game’s audio. Just like with the v...
There've been a few whisperings concerning the release date of EA's Dead Space remake in recent weeks, but now the publisher has moved to bring the rumours to a halt by giving the sci-fi horror rejuvenation an official "early" 2023 release window.
Despite developer EA Motive having repeatedly stressed its Dead Space remake was still in the early stages of development each time its been given an airing since its announcement, VentureBeat journalist Jeff Grubb had given fans hope it might be arriving as early as this autumn in a report written late last year. This week, however, Grubb revised that initial claim, saying EA was now aiming to release in early 2023 - and, lo, the publisher has finally made that official during its latest Dead Space developer livestream.
Bad news for fans of EA's classic space-horror game Dead Space, as a new report claims that the upcoming remake has been pushed back to 2023. EA is reportedly targeting an early 2023 release for its sci-fi survival-horror game, giving developer EA Motive extra time to make certain that the final product is polished and still capable of scaring your pants off. Or at least giving you a reason to change them.
According to a VentureBeat report, the game continues to impress people internally, and EA Motive aims to deliver a remake that is on par with Capcom's well-received Resident Evil remakes. To reach that level of quality will take time, hence the alleged delay. We have reached out to EA for comment and will update this post as soon as we hear back.
If a shifted release date is going to be publicly announced, it may be done in today's Dead Space livestream. EA Motive says this new look at Dead Space will offer an "early look at development and what goes into the remake of a game" and is scheduled to take place on Friday, March 11, 2022 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET.
Originally developed by Visceral Games back in 2008, Dead Space was a big hit for EA and helped reinvigorate the horror genre in games. Two sequels and several spin-offs followed in its wake before the series went into hiatus until the remake was announced last year.
EA Motive, the same team behind Star Wars: Squadrons and Battlefront II's story campaign, aims to reinvigorate the franchise with the remake, which will be running on the Frostbite engine. The Dead Space remake will also add "improvements to gameplay, while staying true to the original" so that it can be approachable for both new and returning players.
We were promised another look at EA Motive’s upcoming horror game this year, and another look is what we’ll have. Later this week on March 11, the developer is hosting a new livestream for the Dead Space remake. What will we learn this time? It’s hard to say at the moment, but EA Motive may have dropped a wink.
But the livestream will give us an update on the development of the Dead Space remake. And that’s not even close to a bad thing. The first livestream was a frankly candid look at the game, which was still at the time very early in production. In a rare move, the livestream existed as a test of sorts, to show fans the foundation of the game and gain some feedback.
The team showed off quite a lot, but much of it still felt like it was in concept form. We got to see some of the new lighting effects, powered by the Frostbite engine. It made the dreary halls of the USG Ishimura even more foreboding and atmospheric than what the original could achieve...
EA Motive will be turning down the lights and cranking up the volume for another look at its still-early-in-development remake of Visceral Games' much-love sci-fi horror classic Dead Space in a new developer livestream airing on Friday, 11th March.
This will, of course, be our second opportunity to scrutinise EA Motive's remake; following its unveiling last July, the developer shared a very early look at its progress as part of an "unorthodox" livestream one month later, focussing on enhancements being made to the original's moody environments, zero-g traversal, and dismemberment and damage systems.
