Dead Space Co-Creator Says He’s Making Calls on Dead Space 4 as EA Ownership Change Looms

He views a prospective EA sale as a chance for a new owner to buy the franchise, with any move unlikely before the deal closes in 2026.

Overview

  • Glen Schofield told IGN he is already making calls and has ideas for a fourth Dead Space game.
  • He says a recent pitch to EA was rejected, and he claimed he could cut costs by reusing models from EA Motive’s 2023 remake.
  • Schofield believes the remake did not turn a profit, and reports indicate that weak sales led EA to decline further Dead Space pitches.
  • An investor consortium is set to acquire EA for about $55 billion while taking on roughly $20 billion in debt, with the transaction still pending.
  • Industry watchers have speculated that EA could sell assets, and Schofield says Dead Space could even be licensed or sold and expanded into film or TV.
