Dead Space 4 is a wishlist game for many survival-horror fans. Glen Schofield is the genius behind the original title, and while he didn’t have any direct involvement in its sequels, the creator wants to return and get horrible again with Dead Space 4.
It was almost a year ago that Schofield revealed EA turned down Dead Space 4. There’s a wide belief that the Dead Space Remake didn’t meet sales expectations for Krafton. This is likely why we haven’t heard a sniff about a Dead Space 2 Remake, let alone a fourth game. However, Schofield has reiterated his desire to return to the world of nail-biting terror and necromorphs.
Glen Schofield Wants To Make Dead Space 4
Schofield declared in an interview with IGN:
“I have quite a few ideas that I’m ready to go with, and one of them is Dead Space 4. The fact that EA just got bought, I think there’s an opportunity. I’m already making calls.”
He revisited his trip to EA, which we’ve already mentioned above, and doubled down on the fact that EA has seemingly moved on from Dead Space:
“I went to [EA] recently and they’re like no, we’re not interested anymore. I said, I can get back the leadership team. I need the models from EA Motive [Dead Space Remake creator] and I can save you 30 to 40 million dollars on the idea that I have. And, they’re like, ‘no.'”
The Dead Space creator believes the $55 billion takeover of EA could lead to some changes, though: “I am more optimistic because somebody new could buy [the rights to the Dead Space IP].”
EA did ask if fans were interested in more Dead Space Remakes shortly after the 2023 release. However, it appears that all plans are on hold for now. Would you like to see a Dead Space 2 Remake? Or can we go one better and finally get the Dead Space 4 sequel we’ve all been waiting for? Share your thoughts through the Insider Gaming Discord.
Glen Schofield has been quite vocal recently. Read about the former Call of Duty director saying “None of the games have been very good” since he left.
