Los rumores han estado circulando durante un tiempo , pero hoy, durante EA Play Live 2021, se confirmó que la franquicia Dead Space, descuidada durante mucho tiempo, está regresando. Como indicaban los rumores, se está trabajando en una nueva versión del Dead Space original en Motive Studios, con sede en Montreal, Canadá.

Puedes ver un avance rápido del remake de Dead Space a continuación.
Y aquí tenéis la descripción del Remake del propio desarrollador
The sci-fi survival horror classic Dead Space returns, completely rebuilt from the ground up by Motive Studios to offer a deeper and more immersive experience. Dead Space is being developed exclusively for next generation consoles and PC, raising the level of horror and immersion to unprecedented heights for the franchise through stunning visuals, audio and controls powered by the Frostbite game engine. Fans will experience an improved story, characters, gameplay mechanics and more as they fight to survive a living nightmare aboard the desolate mining starship, the USG Ishimura, all while uncovering the dreadful mystery of what happened to the slaughtered crew and ship
Isaac Clarke is an everyman engineer on a mission to repair a vast, sprawling starship, the USG Ishimura, only to discover something has gone horribly wrong. The ship’s crew has been slaughtered and infected by some alien scourge…and Isaac’s beloved partner, Nicole, is lost somewhere on board. Now Isaac is alone with only his tools and engineering skills as he attempts to uncover the nightmarish mystery of what happened aboard the Ishimura. Trapped with hostile creatures called “necromorphs”, Isaac faces a battle for survival, not only against the escalating terrors of the ship, but his own crumbling sanity.
Según una entrevista con IGN , Motive está reconstruyendo completamente los activos de Dead Space, aunque parece que la razón principal por la que el juego es exclusivo de Xbox Series X / S y PS5 son sus rápidas unidades de estado sólido
[The faster SSDs of new consoles mean] there’s not going to be any loading. There’s not going to be any moment where we’re going to cut your experience, where we’re going to cut your camera. You can play it from the start screen to the end credits seamlessly.
El nuevo Dead Space llegará a PC, Xbox Series X / S y PS5. Aún no se ha establecido una ventana de lanzamiento pero esperemos tenerlo pronto entre nosotros.
