Just a few months apart, Callisto Protocol was first released in late 2022, followed by Dead Space Remake in early 2023, with the former being developed by a newly formed studio, Striking Distance Studios, primarily by the same people who developed the original Dead Space. Composed of groups of people. The EA team working on Dead Space Remake is Motive Studio, the studio founded by Ubisoft veteran Jade Raymond nearly a decade ago.
While Callisto Accords underperformed commercially, Dead Space Remake performed quite well, although EA has never shared any official sales figures. Fans have also been clamoring for a Dead Space 2 remake, but aside from vague rumors and comments from developers about their interest in remaking the second installment, we haven’t heard anything confirmed yet.
so. . . Is the game coming? Unfortunately, that doesn’t appear to be the case, as we recently reported that Motive will be contributing to the development of the next Battlefield, and that they’re also working on an Iron Man game. But maybe it was previously planned for release at some point?
Yesterday, reporter Jeff Grubb was at Giant Bombcast According to the podcast, the development of the Dead Space 2 remake has been stopped at the concept stage because EA believed that the first game did not sell enough.This in turn led EA to refute IGN statement that they “Normally don’t comment on rumors but this story has no validity”。
This could have been the end of it, but the fact is that Grubb stood his ground and issued a new statement, writing on X: ” Dead Space 2 is definitely being planned. It has a code name. And they haven’t succeeded yet.
No matter which political party you believe in, there seems to be no Dead Space 2, not even reporter Jason Schreier Bloomberg This was confirmed in an article. Still, EA knows that fans and the media will be extremely upset if they hear that EA has halted development on Dead Space 2, making one wonder if it’s in their interest for the story not to spread. We’ll see if any developers who may have been involved eventually come to us with the truth via LinkedIn or social media.
What do you think about this, was Dead Space 2 Remastered in development but canceled by EA, or was it never considered?
