EA has launched a franchise sale on the Dead Space series, slashing prices by up to 85% across the lineup. The promotion includes Motive Studio's critically praised Dead Space remake alongside the original trilogy entries, making it one of the most accessible entry points into the survival horror series in years.
What's Included in the Sale
The discount covers the full Dead Space franchise catalog available through EA's storefront. The headline deal is Dead Space (2023), Motive Studio's ground-up rebuild of the original that earned widespread praise for its atmospheric horror, overhauled audio design, and expanded narrative moments woven into the USG Ishimura's grim corridors.
Here's a quick look at what the sale covers:
- Dead Space (2023 Remake) by Motive Studio, discounted as part of the franchise bundle
- Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3, the original sequels from Visceral Games
- Up to 85% off select titles in the franchise

If you've never played the series before, the 2023 remake is the ideal starting point. It modernizes the original without stripping out what made it terrifying, and it runs beautifully on current hardware.
The Remake That Might Stand Alone
Here's the thing: Dead Space (2023) arrived as a genuine love letter to the franchise, and Motive delivered something that felt like a foundation for more. The studio rebuilt the Ishimura from scratch, added new zero-gravity traversal, and introduced a side story that fleshed out Isaac Clarke's emotional arc in ways the 2008 original never could.
But despite its quality, the question of a sequel to the remake has gone largely unanswered. EA has not announced any follow-up, and Motive has since shifted focus to other projects. What most players miss when they look at this sale is the bittersweet context: you may be buying one of the finest survival horror remakes ever made, with little indication that Dead Space 2 will ever get the same treatment.
Zero-gravity aboard the Ishimura
The key here is that the franchise's future feels genuinely uncertain. The original Dead Space universe concluded with Dead Space 3, a co-op-focused entry that divided fans and contributed to Visceral Games being shut down by EA in 2017. The 2023 remake was a fresh start, but without a confirmed continuation, this sale may be the closest thing to a franchise celebration fans get for a while.
Why This Sale Matters
For horror fans who passed on the series at full price, this discount removes every barrier. The 2023 remake alone justifies the entire franchise's reputation: tight third-person shooting, strategic dismemberment combat, and an atmosphere that few games in the genre have matched before or since.
You'll want to act on this while the sale is live, particularly if you have any interest in the original trilogy. Dead Space 2 in particular is widely regarded as one of the strongest survival horror sequels ever made, and picking it up at a steep discount alongside the remake gives you an excellent weekend double-feature.

Availability and exact discount percentages may vary by platform and region. Check your regional storefront for final pricing before purchasing.
The sale is a reminder of how strong the Dead Space brand remains, even years after its last new entry. Whether EA eventually greenlights a Dead Space 2 remake or an entirely new chapter remains to be seen, but for now, this discount is the best reason in recent memory to revisit the Ishimura.
