Motive Discussed Dead Space 4 but It Wasn't Approved

After the Dead Space remake’s release last year, many fans hoped for a new game in the series, but it doesn’t seem they’ll see anything any time soon. 

According to Bloomberg, the franchise is on hold at EA again and has been since last spring. Several months after the remake’s launch, a small team at the developer Motive discussed ideas for Dead Space 4, but they were never approved.

When the remake eventually failed to meet EA’s expectations, the team moved on, Bloomberg’s sources say, and started exploring other projects, while a part of the developers who worked on Dead Space moved to different titles. Now, Motive is working on an Iron Man project and a new Battlefield game.
