The key creatives behind Dead Space have revealed that earlier this year they tried to interest Electronic Arts in Dead Space 4, but the publisher took a pass. The 2008 game, developed by Visceral Games and directed by Glen Schofield, is an action-horror classic and inspired an excellent remake by Motive Studios released last year. It also spawned two Visceral-developed sequels, as well as The Callisto Protocol (a spiritual successor, also directed by Schofield).
The remake in particular made it seem like EA might have plans to return to Dead Space, but sadly it sounds like that's not the case. Schofield sat for an interview alongside Dead Space's creative director Bret Robbins and animation director Christopher Stone on the Dan Allen Gaming Podcast (spotted by PCGN), discussing Dead Space generally, and near the end thoughts turned to a possible future for the series.
