Rumor: EA Working On Dead Space FPS, Flight Game, And More
While we heard rumors a couple of months ago about Dead Space 3, a new bit of gossip making the rounds suggests that the sequel may not be the only Dead Space product that EA has in store for us.
Kotaku reports from an unnamed "insider" that an executive shake-up that almost led to Dead Space 3's cancellation has instead led the publisher to begin looking for ways to expand the horror franchise. The ideas supposedly being pursued include a Dead Space first-person shooter, a Dead Space flight combat game, and a Dead Space adventure game described by Kotaku as "Uncharted in space."
Of course, Dead Space 3 is also apparently still in the works. Kotaku reiterates earlier rumors that the sequel will be set on an ice planet. It will also supposedly feature co-op and will be the last game in the series to star Isaac Clarke.
It's important to note that none of these titles are officially announced -- not even Dead Space 3 -- and even Kotaku points out that they could end up being axed in production. That said, do you think this is a smart direction for EA to move with the series?
