Phase 2 follows on November 10 and Phase 3 on December 8.
The Dead Space side of that collaboration carries the Motive team that handled the 2023 remake. The stories do not name a new Dead Space game, a release window for one, or any other franchise project.
Separately, Dead Space creator Glen Schofield announced his retirement from day-to-day game development on July 14, 2026, at age 64. He posted a video to his LinkedIn account thanking family, friends, colleagues, and fans, and said the past few decades have been the greatest era for video games. Schofield began his career in 1991 at Absolute Entertainment, later worked at Crystal Dynamics on Gex and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, joined Electronic Arts and led the creation of Dead Space in 2008, co-founded Sledgehammer Games and co-directed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Advanced Warfare, and WWII, then founded Striking Distance Studios and released The Callisto Protocol in 2022.
After leaving Striking Distance Studios in 2023 following the game's poor performance, Schofield tried to pitch a new horror project but could not secure funding. He plans to shift to art activities.
