EA Motive, the developer behind 2023’sDead Spaceremake, is making a brand newIron Mangame. Although plenty of gamers have high hopes for aDead Space 2remake, releasing it afterIron Manwould be a smart decision for Motive to make to deliver on the hype that both of these games are generating.
TheDead Spaceremake came out in January 2023 to a great deal of success, with critics and fans praising it for its faithfulness to the original experience while simultaneously innovating with modern technology and an updated horror atmosphere. As such, it’s a no-brainer that fans are anticipating EA Motive to release the remake for the game’s sequel,Dead Space 2. Despite this, the developer has not confirmed that aDead Space 2remake will be coming, but instead has announced plans for an upcomingIron Mangame.

The Upcoming Iron Man Game is an Exciting New Marvel IP For EA
Marvel games are doing fairly well right now. With the excitement surrounding the upcoming releases ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2andMarvel’s Wolverine,Marvel Snapcurrently being an immensely popular mobile game, and 2021’sGuardians of the Galaxyreceiving considerable praise, it’s clear that gamers are generally happy with and excited about the Marvel games available and approaching. EA Motive’sIron Manis the first AAAIron Mangame in years, which makes this an even more exciting release for fans of the metal-suited hero.
With there being so much time since the last AAAIron Mangame, what EA Motive’s take on the superhero will look like is completely up in the air.Marvel’s Spider-ManfromInsomniac Gamesnails the feeling of swinging through New York as Spider-Man, and using that as a reference point for how superhero games should feel, it’s fun to speculate how flying and maneuvering in the air as Iron Man while blasting airborne and grounded enemies will feel. TheIron Mangame is a new IP for EA, and in an era where remakes are being made left and right, a completely new experience is always a breath of fresh air.
Motive’sDead Spaceremakedid considerably well in connecting with existing fans of the original game and introducing new players to the horror game through an experience that’s faithful enough to the source material and renovated enough to feel modern. The remake was an incredible success, and it only makes sense for the developer to continue it with a remake to the next installment in the franchise. That being said, aDead Spaceremake, while exciting and most likely a fun time, is less groundbreaking than a newIron Mangame just because it’s a remake and many gamers have already played through or watched someone else play through the original story.
That’s not to say that aDead Space 2remake can’t be revolutionary, as it could be a phenomenal experience that expands upon the original’s. Nevertheless, a brand-new story is usually more thrilling than a rehashing of one that’s already been told, and that’s exactly the advantage the upcomingIron Mangame has over aDead Space 2remake.
Motive’sIron Mangame will be an entirely new experience for every single player, while aDead Space 2remake will be like a nostalgia trip for a large amount of its player base. If EA wants to drive more excitement around its upcoming releases, it would be a smart choice to focus more on the newMarvel game,Iron Man, and release it before aDead Space 2remake, which will most likely be a lot of the same story and gameplay elements from the original sequel that released in 2011.
EA Motive’sIron Mangame is currently in development.
