The first installment in Electronic Arts' Dead Space science fiction trilogy was released in 2008 for Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Set in the 26th century, the third-person survival horror title stars systems engineer Isaac Clarke of the USG Ishimura mining starship.

In 2023, Dead Space returns with a remake developed by Motive Studio, based in Montreal, for Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

In an audio developer livestream broadcast, titled "The Sound of Fear Reimagined," Motive audio director Olivier Asselin was joined by by creative director Roman Campos-Oriola and senior producer Philippe Ducharme. The livestream hosts announced that the remake will retain the atmospheric ambient and orchestral score by series composer Jason Graves.

Newly recorded music composed specially for the Dead Space remake, fusing electronic and live instrumentation, is now available for streaming on YouTube Music, Spotify and Amazon Music Unlimited. The 17-track album is by film composer Trevor Gureckis.

Now alone and armed with only his engineering tools and skills, Isaac races to uncover the nightmarish mystery of what happened aboard the Ishimura in hopes of finding Nicole.
