“Far more than a remaster,
Dead Space will feature completely rebuilt assets and all-new technology, using the powerful Frostbite™ engine to craft a terrifyingly immersive experience — while preserving and honoring the legacy of the original,”
EA said on its website.
Dead Space was first released in 2008 and became an instant classic among video game fans due to its well-placed jump scares and survival horror action. A sequel was released in 2011 and was also well-received among fans of the franchise.
Dead Space 3 ditched the survivor horror for more action and co-op play that featured a unique twist with players experiencing different hallucinations induced by the marker while playing the game.
No release date has been announced, but as you can imagine, the reactions to the news are pouring in, and gamers are excited. You can peep them and the teaser trailer below.
