Listen in to a Candid Conversation Between the Creative Directors of the 2008 Dead Space and the 2023 Remake!

Can you imagine working on a creative project for years, having it become a beloved classic, and then, over a decade later, it gets remade anew: beautifully modernized and enhanced in ways that weren’t possible before? 

How would you feel if you were handed a project brilliantly designed by someone else, and asked to remake it with meaningful design improvements, all the while staying true to the spirit of the original? 

Join us for a candid conversation between Bret Robbins, Creative Director of the 2008 hit Dead Space, and Roman Campos-Oriola, Creative Director of the 2023 Remake, as they share insight into design decisions, the challenges of creating then recreating a game, and what they learned along the way.
