Overview
- Insider Gaming reports the franchise is “on ice” at Electronic Arts with no new Dead Space currently in development.
- Sources cited in multiple outlets say a sale of the IP is being discussed internally as a possibility, framed in the context of EA’s pending ownership deal and expected debt load.
- The 2023 remake earned strong reviews and reportedly sold around 2 million units but is said to have fallen short of EA’s internal sales benchmarks.
- Bloomberg previously reported Motive explored both a Dead Space 2 remake and a new entry, which were dropped after internal targets were missed, following EA’s public pushback on talk of a DS2 remake.
- EA has not newly confirmed any changes to the series’ status, and the current picture reflects reported claims aggregated by ComicBook.com, Gizmodo, and Push Square.
