Yeah, that sounds better than more Dead Space...
Motive Studios, the team behind the Dead Space remake and Star Wars Squadrons, has been recruited to work on EA’s faltering Battlefield franchise.
“Motive Studio… are building a team focused on Battlefield at their studio,” reads an update from Battlefield general manager Bryan Beede. “We’re tremendously excited for Motive, as they are bringing their expertise with Frostbite and compelling storytelling to the fold, joining DICE, Criterion, and Ripple Effect in building a Battlefield universe across connected multiplayer experiences and single-player.”
Motive will also continue work on a previously announced Iron Man game. The studio’s new priorities don’t seem to include Dead Space, and neither EA nor Motive seem to want to comment on the matter at present.
Alongside the news, Beede also confirmed that Battlefield 2042‘s current and seventh season, called “Turning Point”, will be the last for the beleaguered shooter.
“After Season 7 concludes, we will continue to support the game with new in-game challenges, events, modes, and of course, ongoing maintenance, but we are moving away from delivering official seasons,” Beede said. “We know this news may be disappointing. However, as we looked at what the future of the series required, it became clear it was time for us to shift our resources and focus to be fully dedicated to what comes next.”
We’ll let you know what’s up with Dead Space as more information becomes available.
