Overview
- Glen Schofield told IGN he is already making calls to pursue Dead Space 4 after Electronic Arts recently declined his pitch.
- He says he could reunite former leadership and reuse EA Motive’s 2023 remake assets to cut development costs by $30–40 million, an offer EA turned down.
- The proposed deal would take EA private for about $55 billion and leave roughly $20 billion in debt, prompting industry speculation about potential divestitures.
- Reporting identifies the investor group as including Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and Affinity Partners, which has public ties to Jared Kushner.
- Schofield believes the remake was not profitable and wants broader adaptations, but no greenlight or IP transaction has been announced and EA’s position has not changed.
