During an interview in 2018, former creative director Ben Wanat discussed what Dead Space 4 would have looked like and referenced EA's disappointment with its investment versus return as the cause of the series' retirement.įans of Dead Space have hope, however. Despite contemporary critique, however, players have longed for any sort of Dead Space attention since EA definitively abandoned the franchise when it closed Visceral in 2017.

Fans of the series generally prefer 2008's Dead Space and 2011's Dead Space 2 over 2013's Dead Space 3, as the latter is criticized for straying too far from the survival horror genre into more of an action style. The three mainline Dead Space games were published by EA and developed by the now defunct Visceral Games (formerly EA Redwood Shores) for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Though the shuttering of developer Visceral Games by Electronic Arts in 2017 crushed expectations of a sequel coming any time soon, fans of the cult-classic sci-fi horror series have held on to hope for a remaster of the trilogy on newer hardware. A cheeky exchange between Xbox Era's Nick Baker and Windows Central's Jez Corden on Twitter has sparked speculation about a potential remaster of the Dead Space trilogy.
