Isaac Clarke’s 2008 story is getting a revamp, and from what we’ve seen so far, Motive is treating the legacy of the now-defunct Visceral Games with respect.

Philippe Ducharme, Dead Space Remake’s senior producer, talks in the video, showing how much the graphical detail has been improved and how the ship’s interior is connected. Still, the Intensity Director is also on the agenda. The video description says: “The Intensity Director makes your exploration of the Ishimura even more intense, challenging, and unpredictable. Enemies, lighting, and ambience may change each time you return to a previously explored area, making each experience unique. Then find out how new audio and visual effects help crank up the tension.”

The sci-fi classic survival horror game, Dead Space, will be returning as a remake wholly rebuilt from the ground up. Dead Space is being developed exclusively for next-generation consoles and PC, raising the franchise’s level of horror and immersion to unprecedented heights 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.

In Dead Space, Isaac Clarke is an everyman engineer on a mission to repair a vast, sprawling starship, the USG Ishimura, only to discover something has gone 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 crumbling sanity.

Dead Space Remake will be released on January 27 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, Origin) for $70. There will also be an $80 Digital Deluxe edition, which will get you three unique suits and two suit textures.
