EA denies Dead Space 4 'axe' despite missing sales targets

4.7
In February, it was believed that Dead Space 4 had been axed due to it's predecessors not doing well regarding their sales.

However, recently a representative for Electronic Arts has claimed that the rumor regarding Dead Space 4 is not true. The British representative initially declined to comment when approached by sources.
EA has not fully disclosed whether or not it has closed the Visceral Montreal studio.

Meanwhile - Dino Ignacio, a UI lead at Visceral Games, has denied the rumor on his personal Twitter account.

He said:
"The reports of our death were greatly exaggerated. Please stand by."

Soulful Hopefully they will still make the new game, despite the sales.


Yeah, doesn't hurt to have a new one


Well if they're not making much money (if any) then why would they make it?


Actually it does hurt to make a new one. They will spend a quite a bit of money on employees and rights to a new one only to not get any sales... That would be detrimental to their funds for future titles whether it's another Dead Space or not.

I feel like they should of stopped at Dead Space 2
Dead Space 3 doesn't look that great due to commercials
But why make another one if nobody is buying them
You aren't going to make money by making another one
