and turning into a two-project studio, Grubb revealed that a remake of Dead Space 2 was being worked on by Motive and w🧸as in the "concept" phase, but was shelved due to how the Dead Space remake sold.

"They said that they♋ are going to be a two-project team going forward and that will be Iron Man and Battlefield... so they were working on it, they were working on Dead Space 2 and they are no longer working on it. It is on the shelf because the first game had lacklustre sales."

It is possible that the project gets picked up later down the line, but for now it's probably worth considering Dead Space to be on hold until anything happens.
