We couldn’t see it coming at all, although it may be interesting.
In recent years we had forgotten about it, but Dead Space is undoubtedly a more important franchise if we talk about horror games, and that is that Visceral Games gave us, especially with the first two games, two clear candidates to be considered as some one of the best games ever. Luckily, one of the most important releases of 2023 has been a remake of the first installment of this franchise, so We cannot say that right now she is missing in action, as if it had happened in recent years.
Now, as reported from ComicBook, the Dead Space franchise will offer us a very particular spin off, although we already anticipate that we are not talking about a video game or something similar. Instead, we’re talking about it being a franchise podcast, which will expand a little more the lore that we know of thisAlthough we can also anticipate that not many details are known about it.
This will come to us from Bloody Disgusting, a company known for producing similar projects in this same format, and it can be heard completely free of charge on their website. It will have 12 chapters and the script will be set in the universe of this franchise, although probably most importantly it will focus on the church of unitology.
This podcast will be known as Dead Space: Deep Cover, and will be released during the year 2024, and with this announcement in addition we have been able to learn a few words from Roman Campos-Oriolaknown as one of the top managers of the remake of the original Dead Space, which he has shared in an interview with IGN.
As a Dead Space fan, it’s great to see the passion and creativity the Cineverse team shows in bringing this untold story to fans.
Will it be important to the lore of the franchise?
We cannot say that it will be or not, but the truth is that it would be a great opportunity to give more details about it. Also, there is the possibility that include some clues about upcoming games in the franchisealthough in this sense we have to be cautious, since it is only a theory.
