Things are really starting to heat up, aren't they? A day before Sony's PlayStation 5 game reveal event, rumours and teases are starting to pop up all over the place. Overnight, speculation surrounding Housemarque's next title pointed it towards becoming a PS5 launch game and now the writer behind Dead Space has all but confirmed that his next project will be announced during the broadcast.
This comes from Anthony Johnston, who penned the writing behind EA's 2008 survival horror title as well as the English script for PlayStation 3 title Binary Domain based on a Japanese outline. Last night, he took to Twitter saying: "As some of you know, I’ve been working on a big videogame for almost 2 years now. In totally unrelated news, you should all watch the PS5 launch event on Thursday."

In a series of follow-up tweets, Johnston states that you play as a character who's having a really bad time and joked about whether or not it's a horror game. Your mind may immediately jump to some sort of Dead Space reboot, but that supposedly isn't the case. VentureBeat's Jeff Grubb clarified that this does not mark the return of the series.

Come on why not. 😢
Ah I almost suggested Dead Space 4 on the predictions article, that would be awesome! Less like 3 though and more like the first 2.
I am intrigued as to what this could be though!
A dead space remastered. Will be amazing.make it happen ea.im more interested in that than all ea remastered games.word up son
Hopefully it's something sci-fi related but I am prepared to be let down by it being an online only game or something.
What I would give to see a reboot or reimagining of Dead Space. Either way I'm interested to see what is presented tomorrow.
hopefully its something along the same lines, Dead Space was a top 5 new IP for me last gen
Is there any indication on who he has been working with??
He worked on Rigs - the VR game and the Assembly (another VR game) too as well as ZombiU and Shadow of Mordor. At least if we knew who he was working with, it may help to know what game he was involved with when it does get revealed...
Although I've frankly had enough of remasters and remakes, I'd make an exception for a spruced-up version of the first Dead Space. The second one was too action-focused if I remember correctly, and I haven't even tried the microtransactioned third part.
As someone who only purchased a PS3 a couple of years ago, and Dead Space was one of the first games I played, I really don’t think it needs a remaster. It held up extremely well in my opinion, it looked great, sounded great, and has lost none of its atmosphere. I started the second game but never finished it, it started going too action focused and they had Issac talking, coming out with one liners like he was in a 90s action film! I won’t even bother with the 3rd game. What a waste of a franchise.
Knack 3 confirmed.
Hi there good people. The original Dead Space was a fantastic survival horror game and my very fist platinum. The second game was also really good. The third....... Well anyway, something new is coming to PS5? That is always great news. Cheers and happy gaming to everyone out there.
Dead space 3 was a massive let down,
Time to redeem yourself with a nasty next gen eye opener 🖖
Can't believe EA went from publishing so many good games in the ps3 era, to single handedly killing off most of them before that generation closed...that's almost impressive, that they could screw up so badly.
Mmmm, I hope it's a Homestuck game.
A new IP would be welcome but few survial horror from the ps3 days stick in my mind more than dead space 1 and 2 🖖
@RaZieLDaNtE that made me laugh, thank you.
@BamBamBaklava89 Your welcome. First rule of Dead Space: we don´t talk about Dead Space 3 🤣 Cheers and have a good one 👍
Man, lot of hate for Dead Space 3 here! I know it wasn’t up to par horror/story-wise, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it, and thought the weapon building was very much in line with you being an engineer. I would love a Dead Space Trilogy remaster in PS4. Not what this dude is making though!
