Visceral Games boss Glen Schofield has indicated that the firm isn’t quite ready to spill the beans on Dead Space 2 just yet, instead deciding to keep it’s gaze fixed firmly on Dante’s Inferno and Dead Space: Extraction.
The survival horror sequel’s existence was inadvertently confirmed earlier in the year via a developer LinkedIn profile, though the title has since been removed from the CV. Despite this, it doesn’t look like we’ll see a formal announcement anytime soon.
Speaking to the chaps at VG247, Schofield commented, “Our two big games are Extraction and Dante’s Inferno: we’re not ready to announce anything [else] yet, no.”
“These two games are the games we’re really focussing on. One of the reasons we changed the [studio’s] name [to Visceral] is to go, ‘We’re focussing on quality.’ So right now the focus is on getting these two games to the highest quality. The studio is really working on that.”
“I think talking about anything other than that just takes the focus away from the games we’re working on.”
When pushed on a Dead Space 2 reveal, an EA PR rep jumped in with a ‘no comment.’ PSU will bring you more info on the sequel as soon as it becomes available to us.
