There’s a number of ex-BioWare staff also allegedly working on the Dead Space remake. There’s a significant number of talented people behind the remake, which was first revealed back in July, but is likely still some ways off being released.
One person who won’t be working on the game is Glen Schofield, the co-founder of Sledgehammer Games and one of the creators of the original Dead Space (during his EA days) – he recently went on record to state that he’s pretty excited for the remake of the original game that he worked on all those years ago.
Taking to Twitter, Schofield said that Dead Space still held a lot of importance for him and that he was “excited” to see what EA’s MotiveStudio will do with the remake.
