EA’sDead Spacefranchise has been dormant for nearly a decade, put to rest after the lackluster response toDead Space 3. But last month, rumors started swirling that a newDead Spacegame was in active development at EA’s Motive Studio, the developer behind the well-receivedStar Wars: Squadrons. And now VentureBeat is reporting that theDead Spaceremake is indeed real and intended to reboot the franchise.
According to VentureBeat’s report, EA Motive is taking inspiration from Capcom’sResident Evilremakes. This means that theDead Spaceremakewill be using the original game “as a strong foundation,” with vastly improved graphics, new gameplay mechanics, and more. Unfortunately, the report stops short of revealing when fans can expect to see the rumoredDead Spaceremake for themselves.

While the VentureBeat report doesn’t provide any information on when fans can expect to see theDead Spaceremake, previous leaks about the game point to theEA Play Live event on July 22. The general consensus seems to be that theDead Spaceremake reveal will indeed take place on that day, though fans should keep their expectations in check. It’s entirely possible that theDead Spaceremake won’t be revealed for some time.
There is some evidence to suggest that theDead Spaceremake will indeed be revealed at the EA Play event on July 22. Besides the various leakers that have pinpointed that as the date for the game’s reveal, theDead SpaceYouTube channel updated its profile picturefor the first time in years. It seems like a random thing to do if there isn’t going to be something new to share on the channel soon, so this added fuel to the fire that aDead Spaceremake reveal is coming soon.
The announcement of aDead Spaceremake could generate significant buzz for the EA Play event, especially since it’s been confirmed that some of EA’s biggest upcoming games won’t have a presence at the show. BioWare has confirmed thatDragon Age 4and the newMass Effectgamewill both be absent, and while that’s disappointing for fans of those franchises, it does leave a lot of room for a game like theDead Spaceremake to get the spotlight.
With theDead Spaceremake,Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, andDragon Age 4, it seems like EA is finally starting to see some merit in triple-A single-player game experiences. Assuming theDead Spaceremake is real, hopefully fans don’t have to wait too much longer to find out more.
