Dead Space 4: A Sequel on Ice?
The future of Dead Space 4 remains uncertain, possibly indefinitely delayed or cancelled altogether. In a YouTube interview with Dan Allen Gaming, Glen Schofield, along with developers Christopher Stone and Bret Robbins, confirmed EA's rejection of their proposal for a fourth installment.
The discussion arose when Stone recounted his son's enthusiasm for the Dead Space remake, prompting a wistful "I wish" response regarding a new game. The developers then revealed their attempt to pitch Dead Space 4 to EA earlier this year, only to be met with immediate disinterest. Schofield explained that EA's response was concise and non-committal, effectively ending further discussion. They respected EA's decision, acknowledging the publisher's data-driven approach to game development. Stone further commented on the current industry climate, noting a reluctance to take risks on established, yet older, franchises.
Despite the success of the recent Dead Space remake—scoring an 89 on Metacritic and "Very Positive" reviews on Steam—EA's apparent risk aversion may have played a significant role in their decision. Schofield reiterated EA's focus on proven profitability.
However, the developers remain hopeful about the possibility of a future Dead Space 4. Stone expressed a shared desire to revisit the project, emphasizing the team's existing ideas. While currently working on separate projects in different studios, their enthusiasm for a new Dead Space game persists. The possibility of a revival remains, though the timing remains uncertain.
