The Dead Space remake was rumoured for a little while beforeEA officially confirmed it was on the wayduring EA Play Live last month. We don’t know much about it, other than the fact that Motive are rebuilding the game “from the ground up.” They also sayit won’t have microtransactions, which is nice (and, well, expected from a linear singleplayer game, to be honest).
