Via Twitter, it has been confirmed that an official first look at the Dead Space remake will be happening tomorrow. A short tweet featuring monstrous creatures and unnerving environments common to the Dead Space franchise entices fans to stay tuned to Twitter for a reveal of the remakes' gameplay.Just a few days ago, EA subsidiary Motive Studios released screenshots of the highly anticipated Dead Space remake. This, along with digital storefront listings suggested that more teaser content was coming, keeping content-hungry fans satiated until the game’s proposed January 2023 release date. The screenshots revealed the terrifying necromorph and featured Issac’s iconic Plasma Cutter. One screenshot seemed to reveal a previously unmentioned zero-gravity segment of the game. This new tweet, which went live shortly after noon on October 3, stated that a trailer would be revealed at 8 AM pacific standard time tomorrow, October 4. This is the first time fans will have a chance to see the Dead Space remake in action. Several days ago, gamers learned that the Dead Space remake will have no loading screens and feature a one-shot camera style reminiscent of Sony’s popular God of War reboot. EA Motive, the studio developing the remake, is known for Star Wars: Battlefront 2 and Star Wars: Squadrons. Overall, the studio has been rather quiet regarding the game.
Developer Motive Studios has said they will honor the legacy of the original Dead Space game. For many, Dead Space is considered one of the best sci-fi horror games of a generation, meaning that Motive Studios has massive shoes to fill, and they've promised a number of enhancements over the original formula. Dead Space creative director Roman Campos-Oriola was quoted as saying, “one should rediscover Dead Space for the first time, while at the same time finding it familiar and recognizable.” He then promised, “First, we will honor the legacy.”
Two days ago it was announced a trailer for the Dead Space remake was forthcoming, but it wasn’t until today’s tweet that gamers had a firm time, date, and place to watch the trailer when it goes live. A tweet containing an odd image and initially discussing teaser content was later discovered to be a QR code. Upon scanning the code, users were sent to an Instagram page entitled thebench, which recreates the USG Ishimaru’s comms team. Various nodes on the page were linked with images, as part of an Instagram story. As users unlock each node, more images are revealed, eventually leading to a teaser of the trailer announced today.
The Instagram page suggests that 11 more items are waiting to be unlocked, leading up to the game's release. According to today’s tweet, tomorrow’s trailer is far more straightforward, and all fans need to do is point their browser to the official Dead Space Twitter page.
Dead Space will release on January 27, 2023 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
