‘Dead Space remake’: is there a New Game Plus mode?
Dead Space remake takes the beloved 2008 horror title and gives it a fresh coat of paint for modern audiences. The graphics have been reworked from the ground up, and there’s also been some changes to the mission structure and combat systems. It’s still the game you know and love, just tweaked slightly to make it feel fresh in 2023.
Upon booting up Dead Space remake, you’ll notice some differences if you played the original. Combat has changed slightly, in that Necromorph enemies react to damage differently, and there’s a whole new physics system dictating how they break apart if you’re using certain weapons. The story is slightly different too, and there’s even a secret ending to unlock.
Once you’ve completed the campaign, there’s still plenty for you to do if you’d like to jump back in. Via a New Game Plus mode, you can take on a more challenging version of the game. Things will be slightly different, and there’s a special resource to collect as you go. Here’s how New Game Plus mode works in Dead Space remake.

There are 12 to collect, and once you have them all you’ll unlock the Dead Space remake secret ending.
Note that abilities like Stasis and Kinesis are not transferred to New Game Plus automatically, and instead have to be reacquired at the normal points in the story where they were found in the first playthrough.
