Dead Space fans translate mysterious New Game Plus message that could hint at future locations

Dead Space may have only released a few days ago, but some intrepid players have already started working their way through the remake’s New Game Plus mode.

This mode offers a variety of features such as B. New phantom variants of Necromorphs for players to test their will on, a new color, and a secret ending. In addition, it also brings new logs that players can collect and from which they can learn more about the USG Ishimura.

However, one of these logs is described by the game as “undecipherable”. And yet someone deciphered it, and now many in the Dead Space community think the text is talking about events from later Dead Space games and media.

First off, here is the protocol in question, with its hieroglyphic-like text, as shared by GingyYouTube on Reddit (via PC gamer).

According to GingyYouTube, it all means:

They walk in white Untouched by red They command the living They tend the dead

A finger touch– We’re still frozen. You are the answer. You are the will

Beyond the stars The brothers wait, Oracle, free us from the fate of humanity

This translation got people chatting about what this text is referring to. And the general consensus is that it refers to the oracles that appear in Dead Space 2’s Severed DLC as well as some of the comics. Oracles are a mysterious group who dress in white and hence the connection made in this translation.

Another theory is that this log refers to the frozen plant of Tau Volantis from Dead Space 3. Walking in white above might just be about snow and ice.

So what does all this mean? Maybe EA has ideas for more Dead Space remakes down the line. Maybe it’s just a fun shot for fans. What do you think of this translation?
