“The Dead Space franchise made a huge impact on the survival
horror genre when it was released 12 years ago, and I came to
Motive as a fan first to specifically work on this game,” said
Phillippe Ducharme, Senior Producer of Dead Space. “We have a
passionate team at Motive who are approaching this remake as a love
letter to the franchise. Going back to the original and having the
opportunity to do so on next-gen consoles excited everyone on the
team. As we look to modernize the game, we’ve reached out to
dedicated fans and invited them to provide us with feedback since
the early stages of production to deliver the Dead Space game they
want and for new players to enjoy as well.”
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 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.
Dead Space will be available worldwide on PlayStationⓇ5, Xbox
Series X|S and PC. For more information and to stay up to date on
