Horror fans were happy to hear last year that a new edition of the classic Dead Space is planned. The developer studio responsible for this, EA Motive, is already expanding and is already planning another project.
The Motive-Studio of Electronic Arts is currently mainly working on the new edition of Dead Space, which is eagerly awaited by horror fans; after all, the first part w as completely convincing at the time. Apart from that, this is by no means the only focus at EA Motive, as has now become known.
The developer studio published new job postings on the official website at the beginning of the year, which officially confirms the work on another game. The Montreal-based developer is looking for a narrative director to work on “an exciting new project in which the plot plays a central role”. The new employee should play a key role in “shaping the narrative experience of our game,” it continues.
A second call for tenders concerns the post of AI gameplay designer, confirming that this is a high quality AAA project, but is still in the early stages of development.
What the new project is about is still completely unclear. Given the current focus on Dead Space, a completely new part within the series is quite conceivable. A sequel to Star Wars: Squadrons would certainly not be unlikely, but the strong narrative approach should speak against it here. We’ll keep you up to date!
