Schofield’s Doubts Over Dead Space 4 Under New EA Ownership Amid Conservatism Concerns
Glen Schofield, known for his work on games like Dead Space and Call of Duty during his time at Sledgehammer Games, recently shared his doubts about the prospect of Dead Space 4, particularly after EA previously rejected a sequel. During a recent interview, VGC asked Schofield if he would pitch Dead Space 4 again now that EA is transitioning to private ownership. His response was candid, questioning the new ownership: “Those guys who bought them, you know, the Saudi and whoever else, what do they know about video games, right?” He further elaborated on EA’s history, stating, “EA’s always been kind of conservative. I mean, I got them to make Dead Space in the first place. I love EA, I love what they were. But I think they’ve given all they’ve got.” Ultimately, Schofield does not believe that recent changes at EA will lead to positive developments for Dead Space fans anytime soon.
