"EA Denies Dead Space 2 Remake Rumors Amid Franchise Uncertainty"

EA denies the claim that a Dead Space 2 remake was in development before being shelved due to poor sales of the first game, stating that there is no validity to the story. Jeff Grubb had previously reported that developers EA Motive were working on the remake before halting it due to lackluster sales of the original. This decision coincides with Motive shifting to work on the Battlefield series and an Iron Man game, making them a two-project team.
