A sequel to the Dead Space remake has been put in doubt as Motive Studio is set to offer support on the development of the next Battlefield game.
Motive Studio General Manager Patrick Klaus has shared an update on the studio’s future plans, and the situation isn’t looking favorable for the possibility of a sequel to the well-received Dead Space remake. He revealed that a group of developers from the studio, including the Dead Space remake project leads, will soon be joining the teams at Criterion, DICE and Ripple Effect to work on the next Battlefield title.
According to Klaus, the Dead Space remake project leads, Philippe Ducharme (Executive Producer) and Roman Campos-Oriola (Creative Director), will build a team to work alongside the Battlefield studios to developer the next Battlefield title, which is set to offer both multiplayer and single-player experiences. Going by his statement regarding their proven expertise in storytelling, immersive battles and developing on the Frostbite engine, it appears that this team at Motive will be working on the next Battlefield’s campaign. A similar statement was made by Byron Beede (General Manager, Battlefield) in his post regarding the future of the Battlefield series. He will lead the game’s development alongside Vince Zampella (EVP, Group GM of Respawn and Battlefield).
Furthermore, Klaus shared that development on the Iron Man project will continue to move forward in parallel, led by Olivier Proulx (Executive Producer) and Ian Frazier (Creative Director). He mentioned that the studio has made great progress this year, hitting a major internal milestone and laying a robust foundation for the next phases of development. He assured that the game remains an important priority for Motive Studio, and that he’s very proud of the work the development team has accomplished thus far.
Recently, a survey conducted by EA aimed to determine how interested respondents would be in a remake for both Dead Space 2 and 3 in the same vein as Motive Studio’s Dead Space remake. Perhaps the results weren’t particularly encouraging.
