The remake of the fan-favourite horror title Dead Space is fast approaching. Scheduled for launch in January, the game brings back a much loved classic, and we're slowly starting to see more of it. Just yesterday, developer Motive Studio provided a couple of new details, like how it'll follow in God of War's footsteps with a single-shot camera from start to finish. Now, Microsoft's Xbox Store has inadvertently unveiled a trio of screenshots, and they look glorious.
Dead Space's remake is in development for current-gen consoles only, and you can really see the sheen coming through these three images:
Built in EA's Frostbite engine, it looks incredibly detailed. There's a real richness to the lighting, volumetric fog, and bloodstained textures, and it gives off a very similar atmosphere to the PS3 original. Of course, it looks vastly superior to the 2008 title, but seems to be sticking faithfully to its roots as well. It appears Motive is very much on the right track.
These screenshots have whetted our appetite for more, so hopefully we see more Dead space very soon. Are you excited for this grisly remake? Chop up some necromorphs in the comments section below.

These are some mind blowing screens. Looks incredible.
In you go, straight into my veins.
Looking nice! This next year or so is going to be excellent for horror fans.
Ahh, the good ol' faithful plasma cutter. Bane of a necromorph.
Looks amazing! I only wish it was a new Dead Space instead of a remake. I probably won't pick it up at launch especially since Fire Emblem is coming in January but I'll end up playing it eventually.
Wonder if they're going to change the ending to create a new canon
HOLY god almighty that looks absolutely mouth watering.
This is what happens when people spend their creative time and energy into something artistic.
This looks absolutely stunning. Can't wait to actually spend time in this world.
Now why don't I get the same feeling when I play ANY Ubisoft or others halfaassed game?
The answer to that question is absolutely what's wrong with the industry today.
Hmmm... it's hard to tell by just one screenshot but that Necromorph has a more typical Zombie-look than the morphed-flesh-nightmare look of the original.
I will withhold my judgement till I see some more of the game, though.
I need this in my soul.
Can’t wait. The original game scared me to death when I first played it. The part where the ship goes into lockdown and you’re sealed in a pitch-black room with Necromorphs pouring in through the vents. Good times!
I wonder if we’ll get an Isaac Clarke skin in Fortnite too? 🤞😁
When will EA learn that this is what Frostbite was made for. Third person games. Not Fifa, not Battlefield, not every game needs it EA
Dead space remake looks amazing.the original dead space is still one of the best games ever made.word up son
Look at that lighting!... why Hardware is really important.
That all looks fantastic.
I absolutely loved the original Dead Space, but I'm not impressed by these screenshots. My mind is very much on The Callisto Protocol at the moment and thus immediately compare it to that. I might have to wait for a discount before I get the DS remake, if my opinion doesn't change as more screenshots and trailers start coming out in the next few weeks.
Yeah it looks great and all that, but I'm more excited for callisto
Awesome, both Callisto Protocol and DS remake will be high on my list.
@tallythwack Yeah me too 👍😊
I dont trust screenshots/trailer nowadays, i prefer actual gameplay video
Looks good. At least the screenshots show what the game looks like, and I appreciate that. I get annoyed with trailers that don’t show any in-game footage…or, if they do show in-game footage, it’s totally worthless. For example, why do I care to see racing game screenshots from the side of the car? That’s not what it’s going to look like when I’m doing the driving. Just show me in-game footage of someone playing the game for 2 minutes, slap the game’s name and logo on it, and give me a release date.
Can’t wait for this and it’s a Day 1 purchase for me but at this point I’m more interested and focused on The Callisto Protocol. I’ve played the OG Dead Space numerous times so I’m more excited for something I haven’t (basically) played at this point.
Glad I've waited this long to "play" it
@Perturbator Maybe there will be variants of slashers where its old and new? I dunno but I see what you mean. The face should look more morphed instead of rotting flesh.
CANT WAIT FOR THIS... yesss
ok ok , a single player im interested in
this , gotham knights , suicide squad, spiderman , sonic , outlast trials
man im ready for this gen to hit its stride
There are videos of the making of this, and they go above and beyond. The details are amazing.
THIS is how you do a remake.
"mostly armless" heh, I like it
@Nepp67 Enemies in varying states of decomposition would definitely be cool! Guess we'll just have to wait and see what all the necromorphs look like.
