A built-from-the-ground-up remake of Dead Space is real, and it's currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC. With developer Motive Studios at the helm (the studio behind the great Stat Wars Squadrons) the Resident Evil 2-style remake will be taking full advantage of the Frostbite engine.

The latest version of which is powering Battlefield 2042 Although we don't have a proper look at gameplay, here's the teaser trailer for Dead Space.

The sci-fi survival horror classic Dead Space returns, completely rebuilt from the ground up by Motive Studios to offer a deeper and more immersive experience. Harnessing the power of the Frostbite game engine and next generation consoles, this remake brings jaw-dropping visual fidelity and improvements to gameplay while staying true to the original.

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.

The original Dead Space is one of the great survival horror games of the Xbox 360 generation so it'll be great to see it remade in crisp 4K. No release date has been set, so fingers crossed for 2022.
