Plans for a fourth Dead Space game fell through once series developer Visceral Games shut down in 2017, putting the series in a dormant state. EA announced a remake of Dead Space in July 2021, to be developed by EA's Motive Studio. Among lead staff include senior producer Philippe Ducharme, creative director Roman Campos-Oriola, and art director Mike Yazijian, all whom had worked on titles within the Dead Space series. The remake was built in the Frostbite Engine, rebuilding all the systems from scratch for it and introducing new features such as volumetric and dynamic lighting. The game also takes advantage of the newer consoles' solid-state drive systems to create a seamless experience between levels without any loading screens. During development, EA made an explicit decision not to include microtransactions in the game.
Dead Space was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on January 27, 2023. The game received generally positive reviews from critics and was nominated for the Golden Joystick Award for Ultimate Game of the Year.
