Dead Spacefans have been reinvigorated by the fact that Electronic Arts is working on a proper large-scale remake of the original game, but there’s precious little hard information actually available about the game at this time. Developer streams are slowly revealing more about it as time goes on, but it hasn’t had an official release date up until now.
Though there was word of theDead Spaceremake coming out in Q4 2022, that information is now being contested, with the latest information suggesting thatElectronic Artsand Motive Studios may need a bit more time than was initially expected.

According to game reporter Jeff Grubb, EA and Motive Studios are aiming for an early 2023 release date for theDead Spaceremake. Interestingly, Grubb claims that EA may have initially had a more daring Q4 2022 release date in mind, though this information wasn’t ever publicly shared. It’s worth pointing out that, after its last developer stream,Motive Studios went dark aboutDead Spaceuntil it would have something to share, and the studio will be breaking its silence later this week.
Grubb claims that Motive will need a bit more time to spruceDead Spaceup for its inevitable release, and the studio is going to have aspecialDead SpaceRemake live streamon March 11 to offer another deep dive into the game’s backend and technology. It may also be the case that Motive is getting ready to announce the release date in an official capacity, which would go in line with the provided information.
According to Grubb, theDead Spaceremake “continues to impress people internally,” and Motive Studios is looking to matchthe quality ofResident Evil 2 Remakeby Capcom, which was widely regarded as one of the finest remakes ever produced. IfDead Spacemanages to hit the same notes, EA may decide to invest more in reviving the franchise properly, which would be particularly interesting for players who already finishedDead Space 3and its final DLC.
Plenty of information about the upcomingDead SpaceRemake should be made available as part of tomorrow’s developer stream, but the franchise itself is more than capable of supporting future releases.Dead Spacehas got surprisingly rich lore, for one, and it does seem like Motive Studios is hoping to make the remake as true to existing media as possible.
Dead SpaceRemake may be coming out in 2023 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series consoles.
