Gamers everywhere have been expressing excitement since the announcement that the long-dormant Dead Space franchise would be getting a remake of the original game. Now, a second announcement confirms that the Dead Space remake is closer than ever. According to a recent social media post, fans of the series can anticipate getting their hands on the title rather soon.The development time for large-scale video games can be unpredictable--some games are ready in a matter of months, while others remain stuck in development hell for decades. Fortunately, it appears that work on the Dead Space remake is moving along quickly enough that the developers have unveiled the game's release window.RELATED: Dead Space Remake Livestream Happening This WeekA recent tweet from the verified Dead Space Twitter account confirms that the Dead Space remake is aiming for a 2023 release window. The announcement comes with a short video showcasing the words "Dead Space: Available Early 2023" as well as a spaceship floating in front of a vast planet. The video is dominated by the dark shape of the planet while the spaceship is shown to be both terribly small and completely motionless. Most of the tension comes from this contrast as well as the flickering red light coming from the ship.

Reportedly, the Dead Space remake will expand on the series' lore, exploring more of what humanity is up to in 2508. However, if this teaser is anything to go by, the atmosphere will be just as thick and tense as it was in the original. Dead Space focused on the cold metallic halls of the Ishimura, a Planet Cracker-class mining vessel that had the Marker transferred onto it, and the Dead Space remake appears to be following suit. The decision to add more elements of what life is like in the 26th century to the ship's hostile corridors could add a lot of psychological tension to the game's environment.

As of writing, it appears that fans of Dead Space are cautiously excited about the confirmed release window. Several users replied to the post by asking questions about what is currently known about the Dead Space remake. The primary answer is that it will be a full scene for scene remake, not a remastered version of the original. Furthermore, the Dead Space remake will add a variety of new content, including new places to explore and some aspects that were cut from the original due to technological limitations.

The Dead Space remake is coming out in early 2023 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
