Dead Space remake gets an 'early' 2023 release window

techradar.com:

EA Motive has confirmed that it's targeting an “early” 2023 release window for its upcoming Dead Space remake.

The release window was revealed during a recent developer livestream. During the stream, senior producer Philippe Ducharme was asked when fans might be able to get their hands on the “final, final, final version” of the game and he confirmed that the game is in the pre-alpha stage of development, with the team “actually just a couple of weeks away from being able to do our first full walkthrough”.

Ducharme said that the studio wants to get to a place “where the game that we're going to deliver is going to be building on the expectations of fans” and that, right now, they're targeting a release window of “early next year”. 

According to Ducharme, Motive does actually have a more solid release date in mind for the game but it's not ready to share it just yet.

“We believe that we're going to be in a solid position to be able to do the proper polish, the proper debug, and to meet the date that we have in mind,” Ducharme said, “but for now, I’ll say 'early next year'”.

This confirmation comes shortly after a report on the game’s release window from VentureBeat journalist Jeff Grubb, in which Grubb said that after “originally considering an October 2022 timeframe” which was never publicly announced, EA had moved its internal target to 2023. 

Other than this release window revelation, the almost hour-long livestream gives glimpses of early footage of the game, with a primary focus on the Dead Space remake's audio design and how it’s being used to create a more atmospheric, immersive experience.
