It’s finally time to return to the USG Ishimura as Isaac Clarke in the reimagined sci-fi classic Dead Space Remake. Do you and your gaming PC have what it takes to survive the cosmic horrors that await you both?
The Horror Survival Classic Returns
Fifteen years after the original game came out, Dead Space is back to give you a fresh batch of nightmares. Completely rebuilt from the ground up, this remake is set to offer a deeper and more immersive experience than the 2008 original. Whether you’re returning to this sci-fi classic or visiting it for the first time, you’ll be blown away by jaw-dropping visual fidelity, suspenseful atmospheric audio, and improvements to gameplay.
Get ready for everything next-gen survival horror has to offer, from the frighteningly detailed rooms and workspaces of a slaughtered crew to the eerie atmospheric sounds of a desolate spaceship. There’s a stunning sci-fi setting to explore, full of unpredictable and tense moments.
Uncover the Mystery
Take on the role of everyman engineer Isaac Clarke as you set out to repair a vast mining ship, the USG Ishimura. But once you arrive on the job, you’ll realise something has gone horribly wrong. Not only has the crew of the ship been slaughtered by the hostile and invasive Necromorphs, but Isaac’s former flame Nicole has gone missing to boot. All in all, not a great day to be a space repairman.
Alone and armed only with his engineering tools, the race is on to find Nicole and unravel the nightmarish mystery of what happened aboard the Ishimura. Stranded and trapped with the Necromorphs, Isaac must battle for survival against both the escalating terrors aboard the ship with him and his own crumbling sanity.
Does Dead Space Remake Have Multiplayer Functionality?
Like the original game, the remake of Dead Space will be a single player only experience, with no crossplay, co-op, or multiplayer modes. The series did not introduce these features until the third entry, so they were never likely to appear in this title.
