EA Puts Dead Space Franchise on Hold, Focuses on Battlefield and Iron Man Projects

Despite recent denials, the Dead Space series remains sidelined as EA Motive shifts resources to other major titles.

EA Motive has shelved plans for new Dead Space entries, focusing instead on Battlefield and an upcoming Iron Man game.
Conflicting reports have surfaced about a Dead Space 2 remake, with EA denying such plans were definitively set.
The Dead Space remake, released in January 2023, did not meet EA's sales expectations, influencing the decision to pause the series.
Motive's team has been reassigned to support Battlefield development, joining forces with other EA studios like DICE and Criterion.
Industry insiders and reports suggest that while Dead Space 2 was considered, it never moved beyond early conceptual stages.
