With EA Motive having only just released theDead Spaceremake, some fans are speculating on a revamp of the sequel given some hints that are dropped after a playthrough. Although there was never a new game plus mode for the original title, theDead Spaceremake offers players the unique post-game challenge that has appeared in other games too, only this one has some hints towards aDead Space 2remake.
SomeDead Spaceplayers that have already made it through the full campaign and have started their new game plus saves have come across some exciting hints pointing towards aDead Space 2remake. Due to the success ofResident Evil 2and3’s remakes,Capcom is developing aResident Evil 4remake, and the developers ofDead Spacemay be anticipating similar success based on the in-game hints that have been dropped. New game plus extends the life ofDead Spaceby giving players challenges that are more difficult than their first experience, and this save holds some potential development secrets.

Dead Spaceplayers that choose not to participate in the new game plus addition may miss out on text logs that didn’t occur during the initial campaign. Beyond the potential lore ramifications of missing these tidbits, they may also not see the references to aDead Space 2remake that other fans have uncovered. While delving into an email exchange between twoDead Spaceremake characterson a terminal, players can see that there’s a “decommissioning” that’s set to happen in the next year which points to work on the Sprawl on Titan.
Though there may be Easter eggs referencing Titan Station which is also known as the Sprawl intheDead Spaceremake, the location plays a significant role inDead Space 2that may be revisited with a future rework.Dead Space 2players will explore many areas of Titan Station in the sequel’s campaign, but it’s also the home of an important storyline moment that makes it canonically important.InDead Space 2, the protagonist Isaac Clarke fights for his life after the explosion of the USG Ishimura, a moment that would likely be part of a potential unannounced revamp that’s merely hinted at inDead Space’s remake.
While EA and Motive Studio have yet to confirm any future projects between each other, the hints inDead Spacemay point towards the release of a sequel that may begin development soon. Like other games being worked on during the same time frame,Dead Space’s remake experienced a few delaysduring the development phase, but a potential follow-up may see quicker turnout because of the asset work that has already been done.
Dead Spaceis available now for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
