Another Fan-Made ‘Dead Space’ Demake is Taking Shape [Video]
Remember Rustic Games BR’s “demake” of Dead Space? Another indie developer has decided to put together a Dead Space demake of their own. And unlike Rustic Games’ version, this one is intended to be playable!
Much like the Rustic’s effort, developer Fraser Brumley has gone the PS1-styled route for his Dead Space demake, in all its wobbly polygonal goodness. Fraser has managed to remain faithful to the original version of Dead Space with this project , cramming in not only the minimalist UI, but also the dismemberment aspect. Let’s be honest: this demake would feel very out of place if it didn’t include dealing with Necromorphs in this fashion.
Sadly, as good as this is, Fraser stresses that demake won’t run on original PS1 hardware (which would be mind-blowing if it did). However, that’s a small price to pay for getting something that looks to be a cool send-up to Dead Space.
Fraser hasn’t indicated just when the Dead Space demake will be completed, or when it’ll be available to play. You can hit up his Patreon if you’d like to chip in. Of course, it also depends on EA. Fingers crossed that they’re lenient with this effort, and don’t squash it.
Motive Studio’s Dead Space remake is available now for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. Check out our take, if you missed it.
Thanks to Time Extension for the heads up.
Dead Space Demake is still coming! I know it's been a while since I last posted about it but lot of work's been done and I'm pretty close to releasing. Here's a little clip to show the progress.#lowpoly #deadspace #deadspacedemake #PSX@HauntedPs1 pic.twitter.com/7mSytTSOc9

Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.
The Founder’s Pack includes:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.
- Sayer’s Vow: An all new Sword in the stone reserved just for the founders that only early adopters can extract in the game world.
- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.
- As a Founder member, players will get access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm reserved just for them, even after the 1.0 game launch.
As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
