EA Confirms Nobody Is Working On ‘Dead Space 4’

EA has confirmed Dead Space 4 is not in development, but the franchise still exists.

During a recent interview with Eurogamer EA Games Label Boss Patrick Söderlund has denied the Dead Space series is dead, but has confirmed Dead Space 4 is not in development. Earlier this year we reported the Dead Space franchise had been cancelled, after Dead Space 3 did not reach the sales expectation of 5 million units.

“I wouldn’t say it’s [Dead Space franchise] cancelled at all,” Söderlund said. “Dead Space remains a brand that is close to Electronic Arts’ heart. It’s been a great brand for us done by a very passionate team.”“Is that team working on a Dead Space game today? No they’re not. They’re working on something else very exciting. You have to think of it from that perspective. Is it better to put them on the fourth version of a game they’ve done three previous versions of before? Or is it better to put them on something new that they want to build, that they have passion for?

Söderlund speculated on the future of the franchise, “Will there be another Dead Space game? Who knows? Have we killed it? No, of course not. But right now that dev team is focused on something else that you and other gamers will be very happy with.”

EA has recently confirmed Visceral Games were currently working on the Star Wars license, nothing is known about this title at this time.
