Following is a summary of the release date, cosmetics, and leaks for the suspected Fortnite and Dead Space collab
Online rumours of a Fortnite and Dead Space crossover originally surfaced in December 2022. The DLC would launch in January, only days before the release of the Dead Space revival, according to Insider Gaming’s sources. Even though Epic Games and EA have since remained mute on the matter, data miners have already corroborated these allegations. The crossover’s delivery date and cosmetic items were reportedly noted in Fortnite files, according to leaks.

Dead Space and Fortnite rumoured date of release
According to Fortnite leaker Shiina, Isaac Clarke from Dead Space will visit Fortnite Island on January 23 at 7:00 PM ET (via Jinskow). The remake will be available on PC and consoles a few days later, on January 27, so it’s also nicely timed. The data mining analysis also reveals Isaac’s contribution to Fortnite’s cosmetics. Players can expect a Plasma Cutter Pickaxe that is modelled on the protagonist’s distinguishing weapon, among other things.
CONFIRMED: Isaac Clarke will be available on January 23 at 7 PM ET!

Back Bling 1 features an HP bar that varies based on the player’s health, much like the RIG Isaac wears in Dead Space. Depending on whether the player receives damage, the colour of Back Bling 2 will change from blue to crimson. Remember that neither Epic Games nor Electronic Arts have formally confirmed any of the aforementioned rumours as of this writing.
However, because the reported release of the Fortnite and Dead Space collaboration seems to be just a few days away, actual details ought to emerge sooner rather than later.
Dead Space remake’s scheduled to debut
Friday, January 27, 2023, will see the release of the Dead Space remake. This was released exactly 14 years after the original. A complimentary digital version of Dead Space 2 will also be given to those who pre-order the remake on Steam.

Platforms for Dead Space remakes
The Dead Space reboot will be available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, according to EA. This indicates that the remake is being created entirely from scratch using only the most recent hardware. It is very doubtful that it will be released on consoles from a prior generation any time soon.
