EA has refuted rumors of a Dead Space 2 remake, stating that there is no validity to the story. Reports of EA Motive considering a remake were denied, with the company focusing on supporting single-player and multiplayer objectives for Battlefield Universe and the development of Iron Man. The Dead Space Remake, released in early 2023, received positive reviews, but for now, there are no plans for a Dead Space 2 remake.
EA Motive's Iron Man game is making "excellent progress," with the studio hitting a "major internal milestone" and laying a "robust foundation for the journey ahead." Meanwhile, veterans from the Dead Space remake and Star Wars: Squadrons are forming a team to aid other studios in unlocking the full potential of Battlefield. The Iron Man project, which has been in early pre-production since late 2022 and is using Unreal Engine 5, has enlisted a Marvel comics writer, sparking anticipation for a grand game with a compelling script.
EA DICE will conclude post-launch support for Battlefield 2042 after Season 7, as the studio shifts focus to the next game in the franchise with the help of EA Motive. The decision comes after delivering new content updates across seven seasons, aiming to improve the game following a rocky launch. Server and gameplay maintenance will continue, but the seasonal strategy of new content updates will end.
