So we can probably expect a series reboot of sorts rather than a continuation of the stories that came before. However, Gematsu have reported that it will be a ‘reimagining’ rather than a sequel. Someone might look back at the old EA catalogue one day and say, ‘Whatever happened to Dead Space? Maybe we should bring that back’.”Īs for whether the Dead Space revival will actually be Dead Space 4, we don’t know for sure. In 2018, Dead Space creative director Ben Wanat shared some ideas with Eurogamer concerning what Dead Space 4 could’ve been about. Series developer Visceral Games was ultimately closed by EA in 2017 and plans for a sequel never materialised. Reception from fans and critics was mixed and the series died a quiet death following mediocre sales. It didn’t help that the story wasn’t great and microtransactions were beginning to creep in. It introduced co-op and further diluted the horror with an increased focus on action. Two years later in 2013, Dead Space 3 arrived. This was followed by 2011’s critically-acclaimed Dead Space 2, which took a slightly more action-orientated approach but stuck to the franchise’s horror roots. It began with 2008’s eponymous Dead Space – perhaps the most beloved instalment in the series. The franchise included three main video game entries, plus films, novels, comic books, and more.

But how do we know it’s Dead Space? Well, Jeff Grubb commented that “we’re going to see it… if we’re not dead first”. The event is due to take place on 22nd July 2021. Apparently, EA will be announcing more information about the supposed Dead Space revival at their upcoming EA Play event. Motive previously developed Star Wars Squadrons. Prior to this, Grubb had said that an “established IP” was being developed by EA Motive. It has since been reported and corroborated by a number of other gaming news outlets, including VGC. The shock news was first hinted at by GamesBeat’s Jeff Grubb.

Hot off the rumours of a Silent Hill revival, new reports suggest that a Dead Space revival is also imminent.
