EA Play Live 2021 has come and gone today, and as promised by industry leakers, EA showcased a teaser trailer for a new Dead Space game at the digital event. Using the company’s internal Frostbite engine, the new Dead Space will launch only for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. And although the teaser didn’t reveal anything in terms of plot or story, sources said, instead of a sequel to the trilogy or a spin-off, this franchise revival is going to be a “reimagining” of the franchise.

It seems EA Motive Studio, the one helming this project, has secretly confirmed that to be the case since if you look at the teaser trailer description on YouTube, it basically retells the plot of the first Dead Space. Read on below for the game’s synopsis and the trailer video.

Now Isaac is alone with only his tools and engineering skills as he attempts to uncover the nightmarish mystery of what happened aboard the Ishimura. Trapped with hostile creatures called “necromorphs”, Isaac faces a battle for survival, not only against the escalating terrors of the ship, but his own crumbling sanity.”
