For the uninitiated, cross-media means that the story of a property, in this case, Dead Space, actually expands past the mainline games, and branches out into other forms of media, telling more of the story which can be referenced in the mainline games. While it’s not the worst offender of losing what made it so special, the writing on the wall actually stems from both sides of the argument, due to the fact that Dead Space is a cross-media franchise.

To say that the Dead Space series has lost its way would be fair. With all this in mind, there’s a lot of content in the Dead Space series that expands past the three-game trilogy of Isaac Clarke, and a look back at these games can help players get a better understanding of what a possible new entry in the series is going to be like. However, this is still all speculation about what players can expect from July 22nds EA Play Conference. Eurogamer further confirmed this speculation saying that it, “aligns with what they’ve heard.” Coupling this with the fact that the official Dead Space YouTube channel has changed its image from Isaac Clarke to a picture of the helmet from Dead Space 2, it seems that something related to the Dead Space series is going to be happening. According to them, it appears that the developers behind Star War’s Squadrons are behind the next title in the Dead Space series, and it’s going to be a reimagining of the Dead Space story, rather than a full sequel to 2013’s Dead Space 3. However, with the series basically iced after the third game, could Dead Space come back for a fourth title? Due to the rumor mill this year, there’s a possibility that dead space is going to make a return, if that is the case, what would a Dead Space 4 look like? And what have players and companies learned about the horror genre in gaming to help prevent the death of one of EA’s beloved series?ĭead Space is supposedly coming back this year, according to information gained by a writer from VentureBeat. While this did happen to Resident Evil, the same could be said about the sci-fi horror game Dead Space, the tale of engineer Isaac Clarke, and his fight against the hivemind known as the Necromorphs, as well as the insane cult of Unitology. Some manage to make it so far into the public consciousness that they start to change, becoming shells of their former selves. Very few horror games hold enough interest for fans to be mentioned for years to come. We’ve included the trailer at the end of the blog. Update: As this blog was going live, EA officially revealed the new remake of Dead Space. By Cole Travis in General | Jul, 21st 2021
