Of course, many gamers are looking forward to playing both equally, though it’s quite clear thatThe Callisto Protocoltakes a large amount of inspiration from the older title.RELATED:More Dead Space Remake Gameplay Footage EmergesThe game’s official Twitter account has revealed who the voice actors are for theDead Spaceremake.

As abeloved survival horror game from a previous generation,Dead Spacemade an impact on the genre when it dropped nearly a decade and a half ago. At the time, horror was in something of a rut, with 2009’sResident Evil 5leaning heavily into action, whileSilent Hillwas unable to keep the magic going after the enormous mark left behind by the series' first three games. However, now it looks as though the genre is thriving, not only with new games coming out from the AAA and indie scenes, but from the anticipation of all these remakes.
Dead Spacewill release on June 12, 2025, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
