The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dead Space remake game director has been confirmed as a veteran of the A♔ssassin's Creed franchise.

That would be Eric Baptizat, who just recently updated his to reveal that he's now game director of the forthcoming Dead Space remake at EA Motive in Montreal, Canada (thanks, ). Baptizat originally departed Ubisoft Montreal in April 2021ꦡ, and has been working at EA Motive on the Dead Space remake ever 𓄧since.

Baptizat's game development history is filled with some heavy hitters. Before working on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed Valhalla as game director🌄, he was a lead designer for Assassin's Creed's Black Flag, Unity, and Origins, and prior to having a helping hand shaping Ubisoft's massive franchise, he worked on Shaun White Skateboarding and Surf's Up. 

When Baptizat announced his departure from Ubisoft earlier this year in June, he was just the latest in a long line of high-profile departures from the studio. In March, Valhalla lead writer Darby McDevitt after a decade working there, and last month in July, Valhalla art director Raphael Lacoste revealed 澳洲ꦓ幸运5开奖号码历史查询:he would♔ also be leaving after a 16-year journey with the company. 

As for the Dead Space remake itself, we're slowly learning more information about the project since it was revealed last month in July. As a next-gen exclusive game for the PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC, the Dead Space remake 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:won't have any loading screens, nor will it have any microtransactions. Additionally, original Dead Space user experience director Dino Ignacio 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:is consulting on the new game with EA Motive, and the remake might even feature levels 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:that were cut from the ori𓃲ginal game due to technical constraints.

Outside of this though, all we've seen of the actual remake so far is a very slim teaser trailer. It's clear that EA Motive's Dead Space remake is at least a few years out from seeജing the light of day, but the thought of precariously stalking the hallways of the USG Ishimura, potentially with brand new levels and areas of the ship itself to explore for the very first time, is a fantastic prospect.
