Dead Space series reportedly "on ice" following sequel remake rumours
eurogamer.netLast night, a report claimed a Dead Space 2 remake had been in the works at EA. However, a subsequent report — which itself follows on from EA denying any such remake was in the pipeline — has poured more cold water on these initial claims. In fact, the whole series is reportedly «on ice».
Bloomberg's Jason Schreier has now weighed in to affirm EA's statement that denied a sequel ever being in development at EA's Motive studio. «Motive has been on other projects for nearly a year,» Schreier wrote, adding that the developer had instead «explored ideas for a new entry early last year but none were greenlit».

Schreier also clarified the codename that made the rounds yesterday, seemingly pertaining to a Dead Space 2 remake, was simply being use to «describe *whatever project* that the Dead Space team was working on next, hence the confusion».
Schreier continued: «It was never really a Dead Space 2 remake, and for nearly a year it's had nothing to do with Dead Space.»
