EA announced via press release that Dead Space remake is officially set to launch in January after previously planning a more vague 2023 launch. The studio notes that the remake takes the original and rebuilds it from the ground up utilizing the Frostbite game engine. This engine is also used in EA series like Battlefield and Mass Effect.

“We’re making great progress on our road to hitting Alpha and we’re happy to announce that the game will be launching in January next year,” said Phillippe Ducharme, senior producer of Dead Space. “We can’t wait for players, both old and new, to see how we’ve elevated the original experience in the remake to be just as impactful for this generation.”

A Dead Space livestream that took place today featured an early look at the visual evolution from the original title to the remake. It also officially revealed that the original protagonist, Issac Clarke, is set to return and lead the franchise.

There is still a chance that Dead Space remake could be delayed from this set release date. Two more long-awaited titles, Starfield and Redfall, were hit by delays today, reminding players that release dates are rarely set in stone these days.

The Dead Space remake launches on January 27, 2023, so start stocking up on diapers.

Silent Hill 2 remake: release date, trailers, gameplay, and more
Pyramid Head walking in the rain.

Rumors about the Silent Hill 2 remake have faded into the fog, and it has become a reality. The classic title is considered by most to be one of the best horror games of all time, and now it is getting a complete remake. Unlike the disappointment that was the HD Collection, the game will be fully re-created from the ground up for modern hardware. Still, with such a beloved game and Konami's troubling track record in recent years, fans may have more concern than excitement about this announcement.

Aside from a new graphical overhaul, remakes can mean many different things. For Silent Hill 2, the question of exactly what will be -- and more importantly, won't be -- changed is on the minds of the dedicated fan base that holds the original in such high esteem. While Konami didn't fully clear the fog on what Silent Hill 2 will be this time around, we turned on our radios, checked every locked door, and managed to come out alive with everything you need to know about the Silent Hill 2 remake.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is more like Dead Space’s remake than Resident Evil 4’s
Frank talks to Jessica in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.

Don't let Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster's name fool you; this is essentially a full-on remake of Capcom's classic zombie game. While the narrative and core gameplay loop are the same, Dead Rising has seen a complete visual overhaul, as well as a few gameplay tweaks to make it more enjoyable to play. It's the same great game you remember, but it now just feels like something that could be released in 2024 rather than 2006. After going hands-on with Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, it's clear that this game is less like the remake treatment Capcom gave Resident Evil 4 last year and more like the one EA gave Dead Space. It's an extremely faithful modern upgrade for a horror classic that still holds up today.
