With the release of the new Dead Space Remake only a few short weeks away, players are in for a terrifying time as they traverse the USG Ishimura once more. But Steam has thrown something extra in for PC gamers as they can now get Dead Space 2 bundled along with the new remake.
So in this article, we'll look at how you can get Dead Space 2 for free on Steam when purchasing the remake as well as what you'll get with the purchase of Dead Space 2.
How to Get Dead Space 2 for Free on Steam
Getting Dead Space 2 bundled with your purchase of the Dead Space remake is fairly simple. All you need to do is pre-order the new remake on Steam before its release on the 27th of January, and you'll automatically get the sequel added to your cart.
This is a unique bonus for PC players on Steam, as other platforms, such as the Epic Games Store, do not offer this bundle when pre-ordering the game. And for those who haven't played Dead Space 2 or want to revisit the title after its release in 2011, it's well worth the pre-order.
Dead Space 2 and Possible Remakes
Dead Space 2 is set three years after the events of Dead Space and sees us join Isaac Clarke once again as he fights off hordes of Necromorphs and a mental illness he developed due to the events of the first game.
We won't go too far into detail here, but it's a story well worth getting invested in, and this new remake and sequel bundle is the perfect opportunity to do so.
With news of this bundle coming out, many players have begun to speculate on a possible remake of the other Dead Space titles, 2 and 3, respectively, and if this could be a lead-up to a new Dead Space title in the distant future. With the recent success of remakes such as Resident Evil, it would make sense for EA to tread the same waters and give us more and better Dead Space titles.
For now, this is all speculation from fans and shouldn't be taken with any validity until EA announces its plans for the franchise. For now, picking up this bundle will be a great option for Dead Space lovers or new players as we await the release of the game on the 27th of January.
