That means that while the main elements of Dead Space's gameplay will presumably remain similar, there's the scope for plenty of change. We know that EA Motive is building the game from the ground up - it's a total remake, not a remaster or port, so they're starting from scratch. Gameplay is where things get very interesting for this remake. Secondary characters will also seemingly get a bit more screen-time to humanise them and make them more believable and likeable, something that could definitely improve the original's harsh approach to killing people off. We also know that Isaac's original voice actor will be returning to the role, with some expanded dialogue and a more natural script. We won't spoil any more in case people haven't played the original game, but suffice to say that things get pretty dark as Isaac has to use his mining tools to defend himself from various hideous fates. Upon arrival, it quickly becomes clear that things are very wrong on the ship, with hideous necromorphs taking control of it and roaming its corridors and bays. That means that we'll once again be taking on the role of Isaac Clarke, a 23rd-century engineer sent to help fix the stranded spaceship Ishimura. While the new Dead Space is being rebuilt from the ground up from a technical perspective, we can assume that the story of the game will remain very similar to the original. If you're still on the PS4 or Xbox One, you're out of luck, although there's still plenty of time to upgrade before it comes out.

This is a next-gen only experience, people! It's planned for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and the PC - that's it. While we don't have a release date, one very interesting detail confirmed in the details of that trailer is about the platforms Dead Space is coming to.

We'd imagine that late 2022 would be the earliest you can expect it, but don't be surprised if it ends up taking a little longer than that, even. However, the teaser doesn't end with a release window at all, so we're still none the wiser about when the game will actually come out. The trailer above is the one that EA and developer Motive showed off during EA Play Live, and while it's light on details, you can tell that it gives a pretty good sense of what the finished game is going to feel like - it's creepy! There's a far more lengthy and detailed developer diary that you'll find a bit further down, too.
