Remembering Dead Space and Its Studio
Seventeen years after its release, Dead Space remains a horror classic, but its story and the studio behind it ended too soon.
The game was released 17 years ago and set a new standard for survival horror games, captivating critics and players with its tense atmosphere and compelling narrative.
- Combination of sci-fi horror and strategic dismemberment mechanics
- Delivered genuine sci-fi fear and technological innovation
- Left a lasting impression on players
The series produced only two additional mainline games before being abruptly halted, and Visceral Games, the talented studio behind it, was shut down in 2017.
Despite its brilliance, Dead Space serves as a reminder of lost potential.
