Former EA developer and Lifeless Area creator Glen Schofield actually needs to make a brand new recreation within the sci-fi horror sequence and is outwardly already calling Digital Arts following the news that Saudi Arabia, with some assist from non-public fairness corporations, is planning to purchase up the Battlefield and Madden writer.
Schofield’s final huge recreation was 2022’s Lifeless Area-like Callisto Protocol. It wasn’t a smash hit, and he left the studio he helped found to construct the sport lower than a yr after transport Callisto Protocol. However he’s not completed making video games. He’s at present the director at Pinstripe Video games, a studio that hasn’t introduced what it’s engaged on, and he also told IGN in a current interview that he’s bought “quite a few” concepts for extra video games, together with Lifeless Area 4. However the final time Schofield went to the writer to speak Lifeless Area, it wasn’t .
“I went to [EA] recently and they’re like no, we’re not interested anymore,” Schofield informed IGN. “I stated, ‘I can get back the leadership team.’ I want the fashions from [Dead Space remake developer] EA Motive, and I can prevent 30 to 40 million {dollars} on the concept I’ve. And, they’re like, ‘no.’”
But now that EA is set to be bought up by Saudi Arabia, assuming the United States government doesn’t get entangled and block the deal, Schofield thinks there’s an opportunity for Lifeless Area 4 to occur, or at the least for the franchise to be bought off and expanded into new media.
