The yet to be announced Dead Space remake will use the original as a strong foundation, but it will not stop at being just a simple remake, according to a new report.
In a new report posted on GamesBeat, Jeff Grubb revealed that this yet to be revealed remake will be similar to the Resident Evil 2 remake in style, using the original game as a strong foundation, but add modern visuals and new mechanics inspired by later entries in the series.
Jeff Grubb also speculates that the success of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order brought the revival of the Dead Space series, as it has shown EA that single-player games still have a big audience, effectively reversing the process that started with the poor sales of Mirror’s Edge Catalyst.
The Dead Space remake has yet to be announced. We will keep you updated on the game as soon as more come in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
Developer DICE created Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, and that game came and went for EA. The next year, DICE released Star Wars: Battlefront II, which was even more of a disaster at launch. And yet, as a service, DICE was able to turn that game into a success over time.
