Report of EA Motive "revival" project sets tongues wagging

Star Wars Squadrons developer EA Motive is working on the revival of an established, fan-favourite IP.

That's according to a comment made by GamesBeat's ever-chatty Jeff Grubb, which was picked up by VGC, and which tallies with information we've also heard.

According to Grubb, EA plans to announce the project at its upcoming EA Play event in just a few weeks' time. So, act surprised.

What could it be? Well, a tease from Grubb makes it pretty obvious. "We're going to see it... if we're not dead first."


Really hoping this pans out. The originals were, are, strawberry floating excellent (minus the last 2/3rds of 3) so to see them return would be incredible. Motive seem really excellent too, Squadrons being one of my highlights from last year.

I wonder if it’s a new Dead Space or a remaster? I replayed the first one last year and it still holds up.

I really want it to be a sequel, but more than likely it'll be a Remaster/Remake.

What I want: Dead Space

What I’ll get: some 2 bit I.p that I’ve never heard of with forced online, forced coop with forced micro transactions galore & it’s set in an open world. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz that would bore me to tears.

Thanks for spoiling the upcoming announcement :cry:

Never played a Dead Space game before, heard it’s generally very to pretty good though so I’d be happy with a new game or a remaster to be honest.

Dead Space 1 was brilliant and unique, Dead Space 2 was somehow even better. The nursery section is genuinely unsettling.

It's Event Horizon atmosphere turned up to 11.

I'd love a 4K 60 FPS re release of the first 3 games and a 4th game to be announced.

Watch it be yet another co-op Left4Dead style game set in the Dead Space universe

Gematsu has also separately heard that a Dead Space revival is in the works at Motive, which is said to be a reimagining rather than a sequel to the existing trilogy.

Hopefully they'll take it back to its roots rather than further mutating it into "Resident Evil: Gears of War"

But weird if it's true they're doing s reimagining, especially considering 3 finished on a massive cliff hanger

So not a remaster but a reboot.

I'd take that. The ending of 3, especially with the DLC, was bleak as strawberry float and actually a really fitting finale. If they're restarting I think I could stand that.

They’re all on Game Pass via EA Play, and really don’t need remastering. Give them a go, they’re great!

The only one I've played is the third game, but I really enjoyed it.

Comfortably the worst of the three, so if you get the chance you should absolutely play at least the second one. 2 & 3 are the Aliens to 1's Alien but 2 is far more balanced than 3, and actually has, you know, decent characters and story.

1 remains my fav however, and probably the only properly scary one. Definitely hoping they go more for an Alien Isolation vibe than Gears of War.

Dead Space was actually the first game I played on Series X and it still looks stunning.
