Through the remake, more realistic sound, graphics, and visual effects, etc. Dead Space. EA, which has been hiding the actual gameplay in various real-time broadcasts for about a year, has revealed the appearance of Dead Space that users will meet in person with the official trailer.

● The video contains brutal content. Pay attention to your viewing.

EA released the official trailer for the remake of Dead Space on the 5th in Korean time, and players reported the gameplay.

This video depicts various events, encounters, and battles with enemies in the background of USG Ishimura, the stage of the game with Isaac Clarke, the protagonist of the series. Necromorphs, a monster unique to the series, and limb amputation elements using plasma cutters can also be seen. In addition to this, the improved direction and glare through the Frostbite engine used in the remake also draws the game more three-dimensionally.

In particular, the red marker, which can be said to be the core of the worldview, was also captured in the video with an impressive appearance.

Dead Space, developed by Secret Games, first met its users in 2008. In Resident Evil 4, the fixed shoulder view point of view that impressed the players of the time was introduced, and the game provided fear of enemies suddenly approaching from behind. In addition, it provided various information that blends naturally with the game in a character-centered view, and was well received in the UI part.

In particular, it left a deep impression on the fans as it contained the elements of a distant future, a universe with nowhere to seek help, bizarre monsters, and the heterogeneous horror elements of a closed space and cosmic existence. Since then, Dead Space has become one of EA’s flagship franchises by expanding its IP to various fields such as side stories, mobile games, animations, novels, and comics along with the numbering series.

However, after Dead Space 3, which emphasized popularity, achieved unsatisfactory results, the game stopped for a long time.

EA, which had been focusing on live service games for a while, turned to singleplayer again after ‘Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’ performed more than expected, which soon led to a remake of Dead Space.

After that, EA, which first revealed the fact of the remake through the game showcase EA Play Live in July 2021, has since divided the official live stream, bringing developers in each field from game environment to visuals, effects, character modeling, lighting, and art direction to studios. We have been constantly preparing a place to call and introduce in detail.

As the detailed development process and intentions were revealed, the remake’s in-progress gameplay capture images and brief character movements were revealed several times through the broadcast. However, EA did not capture the details of the gameplay, such as deliberately abbreviated the development process or did not express the surrounding effects together. This is the first time we have revealed the detailed gameplay that players will encounter through this video.

Meanwhile, Glenn Scofield, who is called the father of the game while building the original universe of Dead Space, served as the director of the Call of Duty series at Sledgehammer Games after leaving EA. He is currently developing Callisto Protocol, a spiritual sequel to Dead Space, at Crafton’s game studio Striking Distance, with the game scheduled for release on December 2nd. As EA releases Dead Space Remake on January 27, 2023, gamers will be able to experience the essence of sci-fi survival horror at the end of this year and early next year.
