The Dead Space remake being developed by EA Motive is reportedly aiming for a fall 2022 release date.
According to a report by GamesBeat, sources familiar with the development of the game have said that Dead Space could launch as early as fall 2022. This may be sooner than many fans expected given that very little has been shared about the game, which was only officially announced last month.
The report by GamesBeat claims that, internally, EA is anticipating a Dead Space launch during its 2023 fiscal year. However, when approached for a statement surrounding the supposed release of the game, EA said, "We haven’t shared a release date for the game, and we don’t have any comment based on the current rumor and speculation. But we’re glad people are excited for the game!”
IGN recently spoke to Senior Producer Philippe Ducharme and Creative Director Roman Campos-Oriola about how the game will use next-gen technology to bring the world of Dead Space into the current console era. The pair confirmed that the newest title is not just a touched-up version of the original, but instead, being completely rebuilt in EA's powerful Frostbite engine. Faster console SSDs also mean that the developers have recreated the game to run without loading screens. In a similar vein to 2018's God of War, the Dead Space remake will allow you to play the game from "start screen to end credits seamlessly".
EA has confirmed that the upcoming Dead Space remake will launch on the PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC. If you haven't yet seen the teaser trailer for the game, you can check it out below:
