A fan-made live-action trailer created by a recently-announced Dead Space remake, which is set to release in 2023.
It’s hard to believe there was a time when 2008’s Dead Space was a breath of fresh air to the gaming industry. As multiplayer shooters began to dominate the market, the horror genre was one of several that didn’t have the presence they once had in the previous generations. Enter Dead Space with its intensely macabre sci-fi atmosphere and refined third-person shooter gameplay inspired by the then-genre-leader, Resident Evil 4. Since Isaac Clarke first braved the Necromorph-infested Ishimura, the fanbase has remained dedicated to the franchise, even amidst a near decade-long dormancy. It's no surprise then that fans have created several fan projects in honor of Dead Space and its characters, including a Dead Space PS1 demake.

The art of cosplay is one of the most common yet most dedicated methods of fans showing their for a franchise. Peep Cosplay manages to combine both cosplay and the creation of fan trailers, lovingly blending them into this wonderful live-action teaser. While mock-up game trailers of older games remade with new technology are something to be proud of, there’s a lot to be said for someone who can recreate the iconic atmosphere of a video game on a real-life stage. With fans continuing to pay homage to such memorable game experiences, it's no wonder why Isaac Clarke and Dead Space are beloved in the horror genre.
Peep Cosplay has already shown what a dedicated fan is capable of achieving when motivated by ion alone. With such perfectly recreated atmosphere and attention to character accuracy, this fan project could even give EA a run for its money with the Dead Space remake. Whether or not EA is up to the task remains to be seen, but the essence of Dead Space is sure to live on in those who forever cherish its experience.
