EA reportedly rejected proposals to create a brand new Dead Space game.
Glen Schofield – who directed the original game and went on to co-found both Sledgehammer Games and Callisto Protocol studio, Striking Distance – said that EA shut down a proposal for “Dead Space 4”, saying it wasn’t “interested right now”.
The news follows EA’s launch of the critically-acclaimed Dead Space Remake in January 2023, but uncertainty over the franchise’s future.
“We tried actually, you know, the three of us. We tried Dead Space 4,” Schofield said in an interview with Dan Allen Gaming, alongside his former colleagues, creative director Bret Robbins and animation director Christopher Stone. “We’re talking this year.”
