One of the most acclaimed games of 2023 was the remake of Dead Space by EA Motive. The title was so well received that many have called this installment the definitive version of EA's survival horror. In this way, many surely thought that a similar work focused on the sequel was already in production. However, It seems that this is no longer the case.
According to Jeff Grubb, a famous insider of the medium, EA did consider a remake of Dead Space 2, with Motive once again in charge of development. However, The low sales of last year's title would have convinced the company behind Battlefield not to follow this path. This is what Grubb commented on the matter:
“They said that [EA Motive] It was going to be a two-project team in the future and that would be Iron Man and Battlefield… so they were working on it, they were working on Dead Space 2, and they're not working on it anymore. “It's on the shelves because the first game had mediocre sales.”

Although at the moment there are no official details, reports have indicated that the remake of Dead Space It sold around two million copies, a positive number for a survival horror game. However, it has been mentioned that EA hoped that this delivery would be capable of reaching at least five million units.
In this way, EA Motive, who in the past hinted at the possibility of a remake of Dead Space 2, had to cancel this project, and focus completely on other titles. In this regard, it has been revealed that the studio is not only currently working on an Iron Man game, but they would also take the reins of the next Battlefield.
For now, There is no official information from EA about a remake of Dead Space 2, but Grubb usually shares information he gets from reliable sources. On related topics, you can learn more about the sales of this title here. Likewise, the creator of the series talks about the remake.
Editor's Note:
It is very unfortunate that the remake of Dead Space 2 not be a reality. While we all knew that a reimagining of the original title was going to be a good game, it was the second and third installments, especially the third installment, which were going to benefit the most from a work of this style.
