EA announced via press release that Dead Space remake is officially set to launch in January after previously planning a more vague 2023 launch. The studio notes that the remake takes the original and rebuilds it from the ground up utilizing the Frostbite game engine. This engine is also used in EA series like Battlefield and Mass Effect.

“We’re making great progress on our road to hitting Alpha and we’re happy to announce that the game will be launching in January next year,” said Phillippe Ducharme, senior producer of Dead Space. “We can’t wait for players, both old and new, to see how we’ve elevated the original experience in the remake to be just as impactful for this generation.”

A Dead Space livestream that took place today featured an early look at the visual evolution from the original title to the remake. It also officially revealed that the original protagonist, Issac Clarke, is set to return and lead the franchise.

There is still a chance that Dead Space remake could be delayed from this set release date. Two more long-awaited titles, Starfield and Redfall, were hit by delays today, reminding players that release dates are rarely set in stone these days.

The Dead Space remake launches on January 27, 2023, so start stocking up on diapers.

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release

Samsung Display has introduced OBLYX, its first dedicated OLED brand for gaming laptops, as the company looks to strengthen its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the PC market. The announcement was made at Bilibili World 2026 (BW2026) in Shanghai, marking Samsung Display's first appearance at China's largest gaming and anime convention.

Rather than unveiling a new display technology, Samsung is creating a recognizable identity for its gaming-focused OLED panels, much like established branding for processors or graphics cards. The move also hints at the company's ambitions in China, where demand for OLED-equipped gaming laptops is accelerating rapidly, according to a Digital Today report.

Razer’s Sanrio collaboration has already produced a full desk setup, and the final drop is now here. The company has launched the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamoroll Edition, a wireless headset themed around one of Sanrio’s most recognizable characters.

Cinnamoroll is a white puppy from Sanrio, the Japanese company behind Hello Kitty and several other globally recognized character brands. He is known for his long floppy ears, blue eyes, curly tail, and soft cloud-like look. As per the Sanrio lore, he was born high above the clouds and can fly by flapping his big ears. Razer has leaned heavily into that identity for this headset, replacing the usual kitty look with Cinnamoroll’s floppy ears and a sky-blue color scheme.
