Will there be a Dead Space 2 remake? Electronic ArtsHorror fans have been lapping up the Dead Space Remake since its release, and with the title reportedly doing quite well, questions are now swirling about the future of the franchise and whether or not EA will commission a Dead Space 2 Remake. After Dead Space 3 ended on a literal cliffhanger, many expected that Dead Space 4 would follow suit, however, this never materialized and the series was left in limbo for many years. Rumors and reports indicated that the third entry of the horror franchise underperformed and EA decided to opt against a fourth game. EA did eventually address these rumors, and call them \u201cpatently false,\u201d yet a Dead Space 4 was still never released. The Dead Space 1 Remake arrives nearly ten years later and in our review, we thought it was an excellent retelling of Isaac Clarke\u2019s original Necromorph nightmare. It firmly re-establishes the series\u2018 survival horror roots \u2013 after subsequent sequels descended into more action-focused gameplay. Now that the franchise is back on even footing, will EA remake Dead Space 2? Or will they finally get around to making a Dead Space 4 if the remake is successful? Contents Will there be a Dead Space 2 remake? EA hasn\u2019t offered anything substantial about a potential Dead Space 2 Remake to this point, however, the game developer and publisher may have hinted at a remake thanks to a global survey the company carried out. Surveys were sent out, presumably to players subscribed to the company\u2019s emails, and it asks: \u201cHow interested would you be in a similar remake of Dead Space 2 (2011)?\u201d Not only that, but there\u2019s also a question worded almost identically asking gamers if they want to see a remake of Dead Space 3 as well. Survival horror remakes are in vogue, The Last of Us Part 1, multiple Resident Evil\u2019s, Silent Hill 2, and Alone in the Dark have all joined the bandwagon \u2013 much to the delight of horror fans everywhere. EA could follow Capcom\u2019s lead and continue to remake the series until they run out of games. In fact, Capcom has a similar issue now when it comes to what game to remake next. While EA could simply remake Dead Space 2 next, using the engine of the original remake, fans would then expect them to complete the set with Dead Space 3 \u2013 arguably the runt of the litter. This then puts EA exactly where they started with their Dead Space 4 dilemma. There\u2019s also the added issue of Dead Space 2 and 3 being much bigger and more complicated games. Remaking them isn\u2019t impossible, but it\u2019s a much more daunting task than the comparatively simple and claustrophobic design of the original Dead Space. Naturally, EA hasn\u2019t commissioned a remake of Dead Space to abandon the series again, the remake exists to breathe new life into the franchise. So, it\u2019s reasonable to assume that if the game sells, we\u2019ll soon be seeing Isaac Clarke again. The only question is in what capacity? Interestingly, the publisher shipped a copy of the original Dead Space 2 with Steam pre-orders. This action would loosely suggest that the studio has no plans to remake the sequel, but that could change if fans are receptive \u2013 and if EA is keen to ride the gravy train in a similar manner to which Capcom has with Resident Evil. Again though, this is purely speculation as EA has been tight-lipped about the future of Dead Space. They likely don\u2019t know themselves at this stage, so horror fans will need to wait and see. What about Dead Space 4? EA opted to remake the first game in the series rather than committing to a Dead Space 4, meaning that the long-awaited sequel is still up in the air \u2013 but as the franchise is alive again, Dead Space 4 may once again be a possibility. It largely depends on the success of the Dead Space 1 Remake and if EA decides to make more remakes instead of a sequel. Although, the cliffhanger at the end of Dead Space 3 is still something that many fans would like to see addressed, therefore it\u2019s entirely possible that EA bypass a remake of Dead Space 2 and 3, instead making Dead Space 4 using the new and improved Dead Space remake engine. Of course, this is only a pipedream at the moment, as there\u2019s been no official word from EA, but it\u2019s more likely as of 2023 than it has been since Dead Space 3 was released in 2013. We\u2019ll have to wait and see what the developers do \u2013 and how successful the Dead Space remake is. Developer\u2019s comments In an interview with GQ Magazine, game directors Phil Ducharme and Roman Campos-Oriola were asked about a possible Dead Space 2 remake or even a Dead Space 4. Ducharme said: \u201cFor sure, it\u2019s, it\u2019s a hope that we have. There\u2019s interest on my side and I think on Roman\u2019s side, you can see his smile, in exploring Dead Space more. There are ideas, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d He went on to say: \u201cWe\u2019re finishing this week, we\u2019re going to be making sure that that launch goes well and that there are as few technical issues as possible. We\u2019re gonna be heading out on vacation and then we\u2019ll sit down and we\u2019ll have those discussions within EA to say, \u2018Well, what\u2019s next?’\u201d Looking for more Dead Space remake content?
