Earlier today, it was claimed that a remake of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dead Space 2 was in development at publisher 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Electronic Arts, but had been shelved indefinitely due to the original game's poor sales. Reputable industry insider Jeff Grubb claimed that the 🤡title was in t✤he "concept" phase, before EA Motive were taken off the project .
In a rather surprising move for a big publisher like Electronic Arts, the company has released a statement via denying the rumor, claiming there is "no validity" to the story. Before you think that the chances of a Dead Space 2 remake are back on, IGN's sources claim that the title was never being considered in the first place, and that Grubb is incorrect when he claimed it was actually in development before being shelved.

On top of that, IGN's sources have also pointed out that EA considered the performance of the Dead Space remake pretty good, despite Grubb's claim that the sequel was shelved due to disappointing sales. Of course, we don't have the exact numbers just yet, but IGN points out that the title was the highest-selling game in the US in the month of January when it launched, so it must have done okay at the very least.
Grubb Hasn't Backed Down Despite EA's Statement
Despite such a high-profile publisher denying Grubb's claim outright, the insider is adamant that a Dead Space 2 remake was being planned at some point. Shortly after the statement was made public, , telling people to "believe EA if you want," but that it seems iffy as the publisher doesn't "specify which part of the story they are talking about."
Grubb then doubled down on his comments from earlier today, claiming that a remake of Dead Space 2 was "definitely being planned," and even had a code name before the publisher eventually decided to scrap it. There's no way we can find out who's telling the truth in this situation, but it seems pretty clear that both parties agree that a Dead Space 2 remake isn't happening, and that's disappointing enough.
