This week has been one of the most anticipated announcements, which is none other than the return of one of the best sagas in survival horror. EA showed us (briefly and as a teaser) that they are working on a “new” Dead Space, since it is a remake of the original episode.
The original titles were developed by Visceral Games, a studio that no longer exists today. The new remake is in the hands of EA Motive, but there were doubts about how many developers are actually working on it. Thanks to VGC
Ex Ubisoft and Bioware are working on Dead Space Remake
The EA Motive studio was responsible for Star Wars: Squadrons, and according to VGC there will be in the development team at least one person who has already worked on the Dead Space saga
In addition, Former Ubisosft employees will be on the team such as Roman Campos-Oriola (For Honor, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier), Philippe Ducharme (Assissin’s Creed 3, Far Cry 5, Watch Dogs: Legion), Jessica Maher, Daphney Alarie and Shadi Mallak (Assassin’s Creed). Beside these there will also be a strong ex-Bioware presence
Finally, let’s not forget animation expert Stephen Yu (Arkham Knight and Sleeping Dogs), Robin Bonhoure (at Ubisoft until last year) and Maximilien Faubert (from Eidos Montreal). Looking at the backgrounds of all of these developers, it’s hard for the Dead Space remake to go wrong, although unfortunately we’ll have to wait a bit to see the end result.
