The original Dead Space is one of my favorite gaming experiences ever and I was so happy to board the Ishimura once again in the 2023 remake, which did a great job of enhancing the original, while adding to it in new, exciting, and terrifying ways. So, I am very excited to reveal that Motive Studio and EA have teamed up with Dark Horse Books for The Art of Dead Space!
This hardcover art book will provide “an in-depth look behind the scenes of the revival of Dead Space the video game.” It will feature side-by-side comparisons of the original 2008 game with the 2023 remake, along with “intricate details of various characters, weapons, tools, locations, and more.”
