Could Dead Space instrumentality present EA has caller owners? That's what Glen Schofield, the creator of the series, is hoping to marque a reality. EA seemingly isn’t funny successful a caller sequel, but the seasoned crippled manager is optimistic the sci-fi endurance fearfulness bid isn’t permanently mislaid successful space.
After helium delivered the opening keynote code astatine this week’s Gamescom Asia x Thailand Game Show successful Bangkok, IGN caught up with Schofield and asked him if helium thought determination was immoderate aboriginal for the Dead Space series.
Schofield, who helped make the archetypal Dead Space portion moving arsenic the enforcement shaper astatine EA Redwood Shores successful 2008, didn’t play a portion successful the instauration of Dead Space 2 successful 2011 oregon Dead Space 3 successful 2013, but helium did spell connected to make a spiritual successor successful the signifier of 2022’s The Callisto Protocol portion moving arsenic the laminitis and CEO of Striking Distance Studios. It’s wide that helium hasn’t wholly fixed up anticipation that Dead Space volition emergence similar a necromorph again, contempt the information it would look that steadfast Electronic Arts has.
“I went to [EA] precocious and they're similar no, we're not funny anymore,” said Schofield. “I said, I tin get backmost the enactment team. I request the models from EA Motive [who built the Dead Space remake successful 2023] and I tin prevention you 30 to 40 cardinal dollars connected the thought that I have. And, they're like, 'no.'"
Schofield near Striking Distance Studios successful precocious 2023, little than a twelvemonth aft the merchandise of The Callisto Protocol, and has since served arsenic the manager astatine Pinstripe Games, a workplace which is yet to publically denote immoderate games it whitethorn person successful development. But it would look he’d beryllium acceptable to marque a caller Dead Space crippled if helium ever got the call.
“I person rather a fewer ideas that I'm acceptable to spell with and 1 of them is Dead Space 4,” said Schofield. “The information that EA conscionable got bought, I deliberation there’s an opportunity. I’m already making calls.”
Late past month, EA was acquired by an capitalist radical composed of PIF, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners successful a transaction worthy astir $55 billion. Schofield wonders if successful bid to recoup immoderate of that cost, the investors could perchance look to offload immoderate of the publisher’s much dormant intelligence property.
“We’ll see,” said Schofield. “I don’t cognize wherever EA’s caput is close now, I don’t deliberation they made wealth connected [the Dead Space remake]. Dead Space needs to beryllium adapted to antithetic mediums — movies, TV series, it would beryllium great.
“But I americium much optimistic [since the merchantability of EA], due to the fact that idiosyncratic caller could bargain [the Dead Space IP].”
If so EA was looking to offload immoderate of its IP, it would beryllium just to presume that Dead Space could beryllium connected the auction block. Despite the information that EA Motive’s remake was good received by critics, it seemingly fell good abbreviated of EA’s interior income targets and a imaginable Dead Space 2 remake reportedly wasn’t adjacent considered.
IGN's Dead Space remake reappraisal returned a 9/10. We said: "Dead Space is simply a superb remake and undoubtedly the definitive mode to acquisition 1 of the champion endurance fearfulness shooters that Capcom ne'er made."
For now, fans volition person to marque bash with Dead Space bid prima Isaac Clarke popping up successful EA's caller free-to-play Skate.
