According to GamesBeat , which is part of the VentureBeat website , EA Motive is currently working on a remake of the oldest version of the game. The project is said to be unveiled later this month and will be the first step Electronic Arts will take to bring the series back. In the future, we could also expect a new part of the cycle.
Further reports from the source say that the remake idea was partly inspired by Capcom’s actions and the creation of new versions of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. This means that the original story and structure of 2008 Dead Space would remain the same to a greater extent, and the The mechanics and graphics of the production would be subdued to satisfy today’s players.
The potential return to the horror series set in space shows how EA’s approach to audiences and the industry in general has changed. For many years, the producer showed no interest in creating new single-player titles, unless they allowed for the introduction of microtransactions. However, following the unexpected success of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and the eventual revival of Dead Space , it looks like Electronic Arts would like to invest more time and money in single-player games.
If the reports were to be confirmed, the best opportunity for that would be the upcoming EA Play Live – a special Electronic Arts show scheduled for July 22nd. The event will start at 19:00 Polish time
