In recent days there have been multiplying rumors that Dead Space is about to return at the hands of Electronic Arts: the point of the situation
Dead Space could return soon, the mix of science fiction and horror born in 2008 on the initiative of Visceral Games. Of course, it will not be this software house to give new life to a game appreciated by many and regretted by too many but Electronic Arts, which for years holds the intellectual property and unfortunately so far had never thought to put it to use.
However things could soon change, and according to what is said on the web the remake of Dead Space should be in the plans of Electronic Arts, which would have entrusted the project to the men of the internal study EA Motive who have already proven their ability with Star Wars: Squadrons. However, the two titles would also have some points of contact that would facilitate the development of the remake of Dead Space to the men of EA Motive, which would continue to deal with productions set in space despite the two video games have characteristics and atmospheres quite different.
The return of Dead Space
The indiscretion on the remake of Dead Space comes from the well-known journalist Jeff Grubb, who last week had made known through his Twitter profile that the event that Electronic Arts has scheduled in a month would come out a new project. Previously the software house had announced to be an unnamed IP coming from the internal EA Motive studio.
In several, however, have taken seriously the story, reaching the same conclusion: it is not that a remake of Dead Space, or more precisely, as it has been defined, a reimagining. It would not be a fourth chapter, but a new IP very similar to the title of several years ago.
It is good to specify, not to hurt any fan, that this is an indiscretion. There is nothing official then, nor Electronic Arts has yet said or made guess something on the subject, so despite the clues and the general feeling point all in one direction we must wait a little 'to see if there is truth in what is said in the network.
The parable of Visceral Games
When Electronic Arts decided to close Visceral Games, many were disappointed, to say the least: the software house had shown to know how to work well, doing a great job with the Dead Space trilogy, but it wasn't enough for EA's men. However, now they seem to retrace their steps, and the news of the possible remake of Dead Space can give a smile to many fans.
After all, that of Visceral Games turned out to be the story of a great unfinished vision, and despite several years have passed since its closure is nice to think that the atmosphere and the scenarios created and imagined by Visceral can return to live, updated, more than a decade later.
