We know that Dead Space 3 also underperformed at retail, but there’s only speculation as it relates to the original Dead Space‘s market success. If a remake of 3 does end up happening, that's likely a long ways away though, so don't go saving your money up just yet.The full story of Visceral’s closure will likely not be told for months – if it is ever really told at all – but the information that’s been leaked so far seems to suggest that the relative fame of Visceral’s games – notably the Dead Space franchise – didn’t ever seem to translate to tremendous sales. Others made the point that they'd like Motive, the developer of the remake, to take another go at 3, the game generally viewed as the worst in the trilogy. Over on ResetEra, some fans seem to be up for remakes of 2 and 3, with one making the point they'd 'much rather have a whole new game instead,' with other fans expressing similar sentiments. Either way, it's obvious that it has the intention to revitalise the franchise even more, assuming everyone that received the survey made it clear they want more games. It's entirely possible that the game is expecting as well as EA might have hoped for. The Callisto Protocol's biggest problem was that it didn't meet sales expectations by quite a large margin, but we don't know what the expectations were for the Dead Space Remake. Though it's also important to note that The Callisto Protocol launched in December, a busy season for games sales thanks to Christmas, and was generally cheaper than the Dead Space remake, so there's lots of factors at play.

On the flip side, it did apparently sell less than half of what The Callisto Protocol did in its first week (an important comparison considering the latter was led by the original Dead Space's director, and the two being very similar games). We don't have exact sales figures for the Dead Space remake just yet, but it was the number one in boxed sales during its launch week. To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
