When last year’s Dead Space remake came out, we didn’t just endlessly sing its praises on a podcast. No. Instead, we also streamed a side-by-side comparison of the entire 2008 horror classic and its spectacular 2023 update. We even interviewed the game’s original creative director (Bret Robbins) alongside the remake’s creative director (Roman Campos-Oriola).
Surely all that adoration, from us and others, would provide a chance for the same team to tackle Dead Space 2, or their own original sequel? For a brief shining moment…maybe? Sadly, it appears Dead Space was a financial disappointment for its publisher, Electronic Arts (EA), and while some ideas were tossed around, including remaking Dead Space 2 or a sequel, nothing’s in active development, and the franchise is, once again, being put into cold storage.
We’ve been here before, Dead Space fans. It’s a sad and familiar place.
