I have bad news for fans of EA’s unsettling horror series, Dead Space<\/u><\/a> \u2014 former writer and producer, Chuck Beaver, thinks a fourth instalment of the acclaimed sci-fi series is unlikely due to low sales despite its “fervent fan base.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Talking on the FRVR Podcast<\/u><\/a>, Beaver admitted that the “numbers just aren’t there,” adding that to recoup the costs of the franchise’s high production values, any new game would need to sell over 10 million copies \u2014 a tall order for even a breakout horror game.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny of the Resident Evils are selling around seven million [copies],<\/a> that\u2019s a pretty good number,” Beaver said. “But, you know, companies now are looking for the next Fortnite<\/a>. They need something that is a perennial moneymaker\u2026 something like a single-player package game with no live-service offering that\u2019s like it\u2019s just a dinosaur fossil of a business model.”<\/p>\n
