Latest Steam announcements

• Dead Space creator and Call of Duty veteran Glen Schofield announces retirement: 'I had a front row seat to one of the greatest creative explosions in history' - 15 July 2026

  Glenn Schofield, the creator of Dead Space and The Callisto Protocol, has announced his retirement after 35 years in the industry. In a LinkedIn video post , Schofield thanked his family, Electronic Arts and Activision, and "the people who supported us in videogames"... Read more.

• The 'numbers just aren't there,' Dead Space producer says, and that's why we'll probably never see Dead Space 4 - 13 May 2026

  Remember a couple years back, when some of the top men behind the Dead Space series dangled a fourth game in front of Electronic Arts, and the response was basically, " Lose my number ?" It sounds very much like that was the last gasp for the once-great horror games, at least for the foreseeable future, as producer Chuck Beaver said in an interview with FRVR that it just doesn't have the juice to satisfy the C-suite... Read more.

• Get up to 85% off the Dead Space games in EA's franchise sale, including Motive's excellent remake that will probably never see a successor - 14 March 2026

  In space, no one can hear you scream "The Dead Space remake is 85% off!" So it's a good thing that I'm not in space, or, indeed, screaming. Yes, EA is currently selling all the Dead Space games in a way that won't cost you an arm and a leg, including Visceral Games' trilogy and EA Motive's 2023 overhaul... Read more.

• The creator of Dead Space 'would love to make an Alien game' - 10 September 2025

  Dead Space, along with so much sci-fi horror, probably wouldn't exist without Alien. Ridley Scott set the bar high, and for close to 50 years the xenomorph's first outing has informed what people want and expect from their cosmic nightmares... Read more.

• The OG creators pitched Dead Space 4 to EA this year, but the publisher gave a flat 'no' so 'we didn't take it any further' - 23 December 2024

  The key creatives behind Dead Space have revealed that earlier this year they tried to interest Electronic Arts in Dead Space 4, but the publisher took a pass. The 2008 game, developed by Visceral Games and directed by Glen Schofield, is an action-horror classic and inspired an excellent remake by Motive Studios released last year. It also spawned two Visceral-developed sequels, as well as The Callisto Protocol (a spiritual successor, also directed by Schofield)... Read more.

• EA denies rumor that it canceled an in-progress Dead Space 2 remake - 10 April 2024

  fter last year's well-received Dead Space remake , one might've expected EA to put a team at developer Motive on a remake of Dead Space 2. It doesn't look like that's happening, though, because EA announced this week that the Dead Space remake's leads are now gathering a team to work on the Battlefield series ... Read more.

• This year's Dead Space Remake sets a bold new precedent for the future of my favourite sci-fi horror series - 22 December 2023

  I'm not a big fan of scary stuff, but weirdly enough, that often makes playing horror games a far more memorable experience. Being a big ol' scaredy cat, I have to psych myself up before delving into a game that I know is going to terrify me, but I feel all the more triumphant for managing to make it through... Read more.

• Dead Space 3 producer says he'd 'throw away and rewrite' the entire main story if he could - 30 October 2023

  We said in our long-ago review of Dead Space 3 that it suffered from an "identity crisis." Series star Isaac Clarke very suddenly went from being an engineer in a tight spot (and with a precarious grip on reality) in the first two games to a full-blown action hero in the third: "Isaac fights wave after wave of monsters while saying things like, 'I turned my back on the world because I couldn't face what had to be done'—and he's not talking about an oil change or repairing a carburetor.".. Read more.

• Forget the Dead Space Remake, this free PS1 demake is the true retelling of Isaac Clarke's story - 12 April 2023

  This year's Dead Space remake was pretty good. In fact, if you forced someone like PCG's Sean Martin to put a number on it and publish that number in an international videogames outlet, he'd say it was 84% good . But that doesn't mean it couldn't be better. What if, for example, its searing, high-res textures were replaced with a swimmy clatter of pixels? What if its sleek UI were substituted for an array of brutally functional squares? What if it ran on a PS1, not a PS5?.. Read more.

• It looks like EA is already considering Dead Space 2 and 3 remakes - 25 February 2023

  First spotted by VGC , Gloomwood developer Dillon Rogers shared screenshots of a purported EA survey gauging interest in remakes of Dead Space's sequels. The horror aficionado in question naturally checked "extremely interested.".. Read more.

• Dead Space patch fixes annoying fuzzy textures one day after Digital Foundry callout - 31 January 2023

  The new Dead Space is a great remake of a survival horror classic. I have few complaints about my first 90 minutes of necromorph chopping on PC: It's grand, gorgeous, gorey, and maybe a little too easy on default difficulty. But up until yesterday's 1.03 patch , it also had one annoying graphical flaw—forced variable rate shading (VRS) that created fuzzy, flickering textures in the darker corners of the Ishimura... Read more.

• Dead Space fans think 'indecipherable' New Game+ log points to more remakes in the future - 31 January 2023

  Like many games these days, the Dead Space remake has a New Game+ mode that becomes available after the game is finished for the first time. It enables players to start a new game loaded up with all the weapons, suits, and upgrades they've already earned, ostensibly making for an easier experience, and it also adds a number of new text logs that provide additional narrative background to life aboard USG Ishimura... Read more.

• Horror maestro John Carpenter weighs in on 'refurbished' Dead Space: 'Great game!' - 30 January 2023

  Our own positive review of EA Motive's recent Dead Space remaster has been joined by an illustrious voice: John Carpenter, horror legend and director of Halloween, The Thing, They Live, and many, many more... Read more.

• Where to find the Dead Space Peng statue - 30 January 2023

  The Dead Space Peng treasure is a classic item from the survival horror series that's got both a unique achievement tied to it, and can be sold for a lot of credits. A Peng statue has appeared in every single player Dead Space game, and the remake is no exception, with its very own Peng concealed somewhere on the Ishimura... Read more.

• The Dead Space remake will blur out 'disturbing scenes' if you want it to - 27 January 2023

  Dead Space is a disturbing game. One of its most iconic moments is the discovery early on of the helpful hint, " Cut off their limbs ," scrawled on the wall in blood. It's a famously violent, frightening gore fest from start to finish. But if you're not into that sort of thing, a new filter in the Dead Space remake will give you the option to blur out the worst of it... Read more.

• How to fix the Comms Array in Dead Space - 27 January 2023

  The Dead Space Comms Array puzzle is a bit different from the original game, especially as the sequence wasn't in free-floating zero-G before. Now you can glide around the room, grabbing fuses, and repositioning so you can see what needs to be done next. That said, it can be a little tricky to solve if it's your first time playing... Read more.

• Dead Space Marker Fragment locations: How to get the secret ending - 26 January 2023

  Dead Space Marker Fragments are a new collectible that only appears during new game plus. These mini-markers are key to unlocking the secret Dead Space ending that the remake added to the game. There are 12 of these fragments scattered throughout the Ishimura, and since the game has twelve chapters, it ties in quite neatly to one per chapter, except for chapter nine that is... Read more.

• Everything that's new in the Dead Space remake - 26 January 2023

  The Dead Space remake takes us back to the USG Ishimura for the first time in twelve years to help Isaac Clarke survive the Necromorph infestation and get off the ship with all his limbs attached. A lot has changed since the original Dead Space launched in 2008, and so the game has been completely rebuilt in the Frostbite engine with improved visuals and audio... Read more.

• Dead Space Security Clearance: How to unlock each level - 26 January 2023

  Dead Space Security Clearance is a new system that motivates you to return to previous areas on the Ishimura to plunder their riches. As you explore the ship's many decks, you'll encounter a whole heap of containers and doors locked with one of three Security Clearance levels. If you want the valuable junk contained in each, you're going to have to claim its corresponding clearance first... Read more.

• Dead Space weapon locations: Where to get every gun - 26 January 2023

  Dead Space weapons are one of the best bits of the game, letting you dismantle Necromorphs in a variety of overly violent and gruesome ways. The remake doesn't disappoint on that front either; whether it's blasting body parts away with the Force Gun, or tactically severing limbs with a single slice of the Line Gun... Read more.
