Dead Space remake: All you need to know about New Game Plus mode (2024)

FAQs

Is New Game Plus harder in Dead Space remake? ›

Your initial challenges in Dead Space's New Game Plus mode will be considerably more challenging. Phantom Necromorphs, more advanced forms of foes with distinctive appearances and greater fighting difficulty, are introduced.

Wapons, Upgrades, Ammo, Credits, Power Nodes, Schematics & Shop Inventory all carry over. You lose your security access but you KEEP your Master Override Keycard and Prototype Stasis Device side quest reward. You can select any difficulty you want aside from Impossible when starting NG+ as well.

Simply complete the game on any difficulty, then access New Game + (again, on any difficulty). In the New Game + playthrough, Issac will be required to collect 12 marker fragments throughout the levels of the game. Each of these fragments is tucked away somewhere throughout the Ishimura.

Once you beat impossible from a fresh save, you can continue on NG+ from that save on any difficulty, including impossible.

The Level 6 Suit in Dead Space is located in the Ishimura's Store near the end of Chapter 1 while playing on New Game Plus. It costs a huge 99,000 Credits, but you don't have to buy it straight away if you don't want to.

A big change in the Dead Space remake is the addition of an alternate ending.

All the weapons Dead Space has to offer are effective in their own ways. But given the limited upgrade materials and credits, it's not feasible to max-level each weapon you come across. Instead, focus on a few weapons to make the most out of your upgrade materials. Thankfully, upgrades carry over into New Game Plus.

Yes – once you've beaten the main story in Dead Space Remake, you'll unlock new game plus. In this game mode, the story will begin again, but all of your weapons and equipment from the previous playthrough will carry over, meaning that you'll be powerful from the off.

If you finish the Dead Space remake's Impossible Mode, you are rewarded with a sweet new suit called the Burnished Suit. You also get to add a whole new weapon to your arsenal for another playthrough in the form of the Hand Cannon. So, you have plenty of incentives to step into Isaac's suit for this challenge.

In the Dead Space remake, Impossible mode is the same as Hard, in terms of enemy difficulty, but with a twist: there are no autosaves, and instead, you must manually save in order to record progress. Moreover, if you die, that save is reverted to Hard mode, essentially implementing a permadeath feature.

What is the secret weapon in Dead Space remake? ›

The Hand Cannon is an unlockable weapon in Dead Space 2 after completing the game on Hard Core mode, and in Dead Space (2023) after completing the game on Impossible mode. It takes the shape of a comically large red foam sports hand that Isaac Clarke or Gabe Weller wear on their right hand.

This achievement is awarded for fully upgrading your suit and every weapon in the game. There are 189 Power Nodes required in total but there are only 67 to find in a single playthrough, therefore, you will need to complete the game around 2.5 to 3 times.

EA has shut down reports that EA Motive considered a Dead Space 2 remake before canceling it. EA hasn't reported the Dead Space remake's official sales, but it was the best-selling new game in the U.S. in January 2023.

The Dead Space remake is comprehensive enough that players may enjoy indulging in the same content, but New Game Plus gives fans a legitimate incentive to return with new rewards, a tankier enemy type, and new collectibles that are needed to unlock the alternate ending.

Impossible Mode is the highest difficulty of Dead Space (2008) and its 2023 remake. In Dead Space (2008), it provides a more tense, gripping experience than the other difficulties (Easy, Medium, and Hard). It can be unlocked by completing the game on any difficulty level.

"The Dead Space remake has a limited number of save slots — about 50 of them. Every time you save into an Empty Save Slot at a save point (the default option), you take up one of those slots. When you run out, you'll get a warning saying there's no more space, and you'll have to choose a slot to save over.

I'm just wondering if I continue on hard and beat the game, will I be able to pick normal or easy for a new game+ when I choose to play again? Yes, you can beat any difficulty to unlock Impossible. No, you cannot change the difficulty for a new game+.
