Update: EA is denying the claim by Jeff Grubb that the Dead Space 2 Remake was cancelled so the team at EA Motive can work on Battlefield.
“We don’t normally comment on rumors but there is no validity to this story,” an EA spokesperson told IGN. Even IGN’s Kat Bailey said that her sources told her a Dead Space 2 Remake was “never considered”.
For what it’s worth, Grubb doubled-down on his report regarding the game:
Original: The Dead Space 2 Remake isn’t happening anytime soon, if at all.
During the latest episode of Game Mess Mornings, Jeff Grubb spoke about the announcement of Motive being moved over to the Battlefield franchise by EA. During the segment, he talked about what that meant for the Dead Space 2 Remake from the studio.
“They (Motive) said that they’re going to be a two-project team going forward, and that is going to be Iron Man and Battlefield,” Grubb said.

He continued: “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 lackluster sales. So, if you were looking forward to a Dead Space 2, it’s bad news. It’s straight up bad news.”
Grubb did state that he doesn’t know if the game will never be made. However, the game isn’t in the plans right now after being in the pre-production phase.
