Isaac's New Face is Better Visible in the Dead Space Remake

Isaac Clarke, the main character in the Dead Space remake, has undergone some significant changes, including a new face.

Fans have gotten a better look at Isaac Clarke's new face in the upcoming Dead Space remake thanks to the most recent trailer. Although the Dead Space remake is anticipated to be largely faithful to the original game, there are still some significant changes being made. According to what has been revealed thus far, Isaac Clarke appears to be the focus of some of the biggest changes in store for the Dead Space remake.

Isaac, the main character in the first Dead Space video game, was mute. When examining the Dead Space franchise as a whole, Isaac's lack of personality in the first game seemed a little strange until EA decided to give him a voice in the follow-ups. In the Dead Space remake, Isaac will have a voice, which should make him a more interesting character than he was in the original. While many fans were thrilled to hear that Gunner Wright, who previously voiced Isaac Clarke, would be reprising his role in the Dead Space remake, other fans have been less enthused about the character's new appearance.

Although Isaac's new face in the Dead Space remake has been known to fans for some time, the most recent trailer gave them their best look yet. Isaac's face has significantly changed in the new game, as seen in the launch trailer for the Dead Space remake. In comparison to his previous appearance, he now has red hair, a longer, narrower face, and radically different facial features. Although it's unclear why EA Motive changed Isaac's look for the Dead Space remake, it's possible that it was because his original appearance was fairly generic. Whatever the case may be, the face change has received mixed reviews from fans.

Using screenshots from the remake and the original Dead Space, Twitter user RuleTimeSpace created a comparison of Isaac's appearance. This clearly shows how drastically different Isaac's appearance in the 2023 game is from his original design, though in the grand scheme of things, it shouldn't matter too much. While Isaac's face will appear in a few cutscenes, the majority of the Dead Space remake will be spent with Isaac in a suit.

Since the iconic Dead Space suit is returning in the remake, Isaac will spend the majority of the game completely encased in heavy armor. Given this, many people who pick up the game later this month are likely to ignore the changes to Isaac's appearance.

Dead Space launches January 27 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
