Dead Space, Remake of theSci-Fi Survival Horror Classic, Now Available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC
This Iconic Narrative Sci-Fi Adventure Immerses Players in the Haunting Corridors of the USG Ishimura with Improved Gameplay, Enhanced Audio and Visual Fidelity and More
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Motive™ Studio, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA), announced today that Dead Space™, the ground-up remake of the sci-fi survival horror classic,is now available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Since its initial reveal in 2021, Dead Space has been a staple fixture on “Most Anticipated” lists from prominent media publications around the world. Now that the game is out, press are highly praising the game with outlets including IGN and Inverse calling it “…undoubtedly the definitive way to experience – or re-experience – one of the best survival horror shooters…” and “…one of the best games of all time” in their respective 9/10 and 10/10 reviews.

Dead Space puts players in the boots of Isaac Clarke, an everyman engineer on a routine mission to fix the USG Ishimura, a gigantic mining starship. But aboard the Ishimura, a living nightmare awaits. The ship’s crew has been slaughtered and Isaac’s girlfriend, Nicole, is missing somewhere on board. Alone and trapped with only his engineering tools and skills, Isaac faces a battle for survival — not only against terrifying monsters called Necromorphs, but his own crumbling sanity.
“When Dead Space launched in 2008, it immediately became a survival horror classic with its iconic sci-fi atmosphere and environmental narrative,” said Phillippe Ducharme, Senior Producer of Dead Space. “Our most important goal in remaking the game almost 15 years later is honoring the legacy of the original, while enhancing it with the power of today’s hardware. If this is your first time stepping into Isaac’s suit, we hope it creates the same, lasting impression that it did for us when we played it in 2008. If you are a returning player, our wish is to have delivered a game that lives up to your fondest memories, and that you’ll love picking up that Plasma Cutter once again.”
Dead Space was rebuilt from the ground up leveraging the Frostbite™ game engine. Remaining faithful to the original game’s thrilling vision, the remake offers enhanced audio and crisp, harrowing visuals that have been carefully reimagined to evoke a new level of immersion and quality. Additionally, Dead Space features key gameplay improvements including:
- An Enhanced Engineering Fantasy: Without weapons or backup, Isaac is forced to defend himself against the Necromorphs by leveraging high-tech mining tools to strategically defeat nightmarish creatures, solve puzzles on his thrilling journey and turn the Ishimura’s malfunctioning systems to his advantage. This experience has been further enhanced in the remake, with Isaac receiving an updated suit and upgraded arsenal featuring more detailed tools with improved effects and functionalities. Gunner Wright, the original voice of Isaac in Dead Space™ 2 (2011) and Dead Space™ 3 (2013), will also be reprising his role as the voice and now in-game face of the character (who was originally a silent protagonist), so players can now hear more from the beloved engineer via new narrative enrichments.
- A Fully Interconnected Ishimura: From the start screen to the end credits, players will confront the frighteningly tight corridors and shadowed hallways of the USG Ishimura without a single load screen or camera cut ever breaking the immersion. This enormous mining ship has been restored for the remake with new rooms, routes and obstacles while permitting seamless exploration with new UI map controls and an improved locator.
- The Intensity Director: Dead Space offers a beautifully crafted and equally haunting world in which players can lose themselves and truly feel the weight of every mysterious step Isaac takes. The new Intensity Director dynamically adjusts what shows up in Isaac’s path as he explores both new and old areas of the USG Ishimura. From Necromorph spawns to environmental effects such as light, smoke, particles and sound, no player’s experience in a room will be the same — nor will their own, if they opt to retrace their steps and revisit previous locations to find new experiences awaiting them. Isaac’s heartbeat, breathing, and exertions also adjust based on his stress level to provide players direct feedback into his mental, emotional and physical state.
- The Peeling System: Necromorphs, monstrosities unlike anything seen before, have been reconstructed around the new Peeling System, which introduces and allows players to interact with layered flesh, tendons and bones in new ways during combat. And while strategy is key, players will also experience increased opportunities for decision-making in how they utilize their variety of unique weapons and abilities to combat these horrifying enemies.
Will Isaac live to unravel the dreadful mystery of what happened to the slaughtered crew and ship, or be forever lost to the cold vacuum of space? Players can find out now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for $69.99 as well as PC for $59.99. Dead Space will also be available to purchase in Deluxe and Collector’s Edition for various extras.
- Dead Space Deluxe Edition is currently available for $79.99 for consoles and $69.99 for PC (EA app/Steam/Epic Games Store)which includes special offerings like unique suits and suit textures.
- In collaboration with Limited Run Games, Dead Space Collector’s Edition is currently available for $274.99, while supplies last, which includes special offerings including a full-sized wearable Isaac helmet, CD soundtrack, SteelBook and more

Embark on an Epic New Adventure Today in WILD HEARTS™, EA and KOEI TECMO’s AAA Hunting Game Set in Fantasy Feudal Japan #WILDHEARTS
Master Ancient Technology and Hunt Down Giant Nature-Infused Beasts in This Innovative New Take on the Hunting Genre, Now Available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC Post-Launch Content Including Kemono Subspecies Coming in March
Today, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and KOEI TECMO welcome hunters to the land of Azuma in WILD HEARTS™, available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via the EA App, Steam and Epic Game Store. WILD HEARTS is a new kind of hunting game that whisks players away on an epic adventure in fantasy medieval Japan. With the help of a sophisticated ancient technology known as Karakuri, players will battle giant nature-infused Kemono beasts that are rampaging through the land of Azuma at the cost of its citizens’ lives.

“With WILD HEARTS, our mindset has always been to create a hunting game that offers a new and innovative experience for players in a beautiful and fantastical setting,” said Yosuke Hayashi, Executive Vice President of KOEI TECMO GAMES CO, LTD. “The freedom and flexibility of the unique Karakuri system, combined with the fearsome, nature-infused Kemono, as well the ability to team up and hunt with friends online in co-op, creates for a vastly new combat experience – one that urges players to be creative and in control. We’re really looking forward to seeing how players explore all the possibilities.”
“Together with KOEI TECMO’s Omega Force team, we’re excited to usher the vibrant fantasy world of WILD HEARTS into our lineup of EA Originals titles,” said Stuart Lang, Vice President, Global Brand, Electronic Arts. “Omega Force has raised the bar for the hunting genre, redefining the AAA hunting experience for a new generation of players.”
From the sun-soaked Amaterasu hawk to the massive Kingtusk wild boar to the commanding Golden Tempest wind tiger, Kemono wield the power of nature to reshape their surroundings to suit their needs. After a dreadful fight with the winter wolf Deathstalker, players become wielders of the ancient Karakuri technology and are compelled to restore balance across the region. Dormant for many years, the now restored Karakuri technology allows players to adapt and shape their environment into creative hunting grounds ideal for taking down the giant Kemono.
Players must learn to master WILD HEARTS’ Karakuri systems – whether constructing a basic crate, spring and torch Karakuri, learning Fusion Karakuri to counter Kemono attacks, or drawing power from the land to construct massive traversal Dragon Karakuri. How players use each type of Karakuri to enhance their combat abilities will be entirely up to them.
In WILD HEARTS, players journey through Azuma as a lone wolf or pack-hunt with up to two friends thanks to the game’s co-op and crossplay features across all platforms. Players can expand their battle plans and go on special missions while pack hunting, join other hunters in the world, or take on Kemono on their own.
The hunt isn’t over at launch! WILD HEARTS players can look forward to a series of post-launch content updates available at no additional cost starting next month. The March update will introduce the Deeply Volatile Hellfire Laharback and a new Grimstalker wolf Kemono subspecies – kin to the fearsome Deathstalker – in addition to new quests, new armor and weapon variants, new talismans, new emotes, chat stamps and more. Stay tuned for more details on future WILD HEARTS content.
WILD HEARTS standard edition is available now in retail and digital storefronts for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via the EA App, Steam and Epic Game Store for $69.99 USD. The game will be accessible to players with voice overs in English, Japanese, French, Italian, German and Spanish.
EA Play members* can join the hunt in WILD HEARTS for up to 10-hours, battling mighty Kemono as they play up to the gates of Minato, while EA Play Pro members now have unlimited access to the Karakuri Deluxe Edition**, which features two cosmetic armor sets (Karakuri Samurai & Karakuri Ninja), a decorative Tsukumo Lantern, a variety of chart stamps, and three different emotes – including the Fighting Spirit, Grovel and Conch.
