The year 2023 was an excellent year for survival horror fans. We can obviously cite the release of Resident Evil 4 andAlan Wake 2both adored by critics and gamers around the world. Let us not forget that a certain Dead Space Remake came to kick off 2023 with a bang.
This new version of the cult game from Visceral Games has garnered high marks in the international media. Electronic Arts owes the critical success of the title to the quality of the base material, but also to the work carried out by Motive Studios to make this remake the best way to (re)discover Dead Space first of the name. However, EA would not like neither create modernized versions of the following opuses, nor Dead Space 4.
Electronic Arts does not want to get involved in the production of Dead Space 4
A leak from last spring indicated that Motive Studios had abandoned development of a remake of Dead Space 2 due to insufficient sales of the first part in order to devote himself to the creation of the next Battlefield. EA spoke immediately to clarify that the creation of a possible Dead Space 2 Remake had never been on the agenda.
Sad news, knowing that Dead Space 4 should also not arrive on consoles and PC. In a recent interview with YouTuber Dan Allen, members of the original team of Dead SpaceGlen Schofield, Christopher Stone and Bret Robbins spoke of their desire to embark on the development of a new episode of the survival-horror saga. Unfortunately, Electronic Arts was not really excited about the project.
« We’re not interested at the moment, we’re enjoying it, blah blah blah. We respected their opinion. They know their numbers and the volume of games they need to ship », laments Glen Schofield, creator of Dead Space and of The Callisto Protocol chez Visceral Games.

Christopher Stone regrets that decision-makers in the video game industry are reluctant to take risks at the moment. However, the two men have “several ideas” as to the direction to give to Dead Space 4. Unfortunately for fans, the future of the saga seems definitively at a standstill.
Dead Space has nevertheless managed to attract millions of players thanks to its distressing atmosphere and its diegetic interface as immersive as it is innovative through its three episodes. You must therefore turn to other survival horror licenses to rediscover the thrill offered by the space adventures of Isaac Clarke.
